South Africans are paying tribute to actor Presley Chweneyagae, who has died at the age of 40.

The song caused so much excitement that a call was made to Presley’s home to have him come in for an on-air interview.

As if to illustrate that point, they didn't hand Mr Presley a trophy until 1968, and even that was for "best sacred performance", recognising his first gospel album, How Great Thou Art.

Several years later, Holt was able to get two tickets for them to see Presley perform at Pan-Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles.

She shimmied on ABC’s musical showcase “Shindig!” in the mid-1960s and danced in nine Presley movies, including “Viva Las Vegas.”
