Audiences later came to know him as 'Cobra' in the hit series The River, where he continued to shine as both a charismatic villain and relatable anti-hero.
Chweneyagae died last week of natural causes after sudden respiratory complications.
Saturday’s service will honour his life, legacy, and immense contribution to the arts.
