Today, we honour and remember the life of Mphakamiseni “Mphaka” Ngidi (OC 2007), whose untimely passing has left a deep void in the hearts of his family, friends and fellow Old Collegians.
Mphaka will be remembered for his bubbly personality, infectious energy, welcoming nature and the joy he brought to those around him. Beyond the young man remembered from his College years, he went on to become a devoted husband, loving father, pastor and man of faith.
Two of Mphaka’s fellow Old Collegians, Nhlakanipho Sibiya (OC 2007) and Luthando Ntombela (OC 2007), share their personal memories of their friend.

Today, we honour and celebrate the life of one of our own, Mphakamiseni Ngidi.
Mphaka’s untimely passing has left a void in our hearts, but we will forever cherish the memories we shared with him.
Mphaka was a bubbly and welcoming person who brought joy and laughter to those around him. He was more than a schoolmate; he was a brother and a friend.
We remember not only the young man we knew during our school years, but also the man he became: a loving husband, a pastor and a man of faith.
His laughter, kindness and beautiful spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
To his family and loved ones, we extend our heartfelt condolences. May God grant you strength and comfort during this difficult time.
Remembered by Luthando Ntombela (OC 2007)
Mphaka Ngidi, at his core and foundation, was a deeply religious person, having been the son of a pastor. However, this would be hard to imagine for those who had the opportunity to share time with him at College. He had a fun-loving spirit and a positively infectious energy.
He achieved a lot post high school. However, during this time, we may look to what could perhaps be considered the highest achievement of all: being a devoted husband and caring father to three young children.
Our hearts go out to the family and friends he left behind, and we pray that God gives them strength during this time.
With thanks to Nhlakanipho Sibiya (OC 2007) and Luthando Ntombela (OC 2007) for sharing their memories of Mphaka.
