<\/figure>\nHis death has been confirmed to IGIHE by Junior, the brother of the deceased who is also a movie interpreter. \u201cHe died around 11:30 a.m. in South Africa where he has been receiving treatment,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
His death is announced in less than a day following the demise of singer Yvan Buravan who breathed the last in India. <\/p>\n
Yanga went to South Africa in April this year. At the time, he was accompanying his children to visit their mother who works there. <\/p>\n
Arriving in the country, he caught a disease that his life deteriorated until he breathed the last on 17th August 2022. <\/p>\n
Yanga started his career as a film interpreter at the age of 17 while he was a secondary school student. <\/p>\n
He once told IGIHE that he drew inspiration at early age from neighbours who forced their meal upon the job when his family lived in Uganda. <\/p>\n
Interpreting movies into Kinyarwanda earned him huge returns and popularity. <\/p>\n
He however retired from the business between 2012-2013 realizing that movie interpretation was no longer lucrative enough. <\/p>\n
Yanga will be remembered as one of pioneers of film interpretation in Rwanda. <\/p>\n
In 2018, Yanga was diagnosed with a stomach abscess which resulted into cancer. After learning about his critical condition, Yanga felt shocked and leaned on God. <\/p>\n
He sought assistance from pastors to pray for him and later announced that he miraculously healed from stomach cancer without undergoing surgery. <\/p>\n
Since then, he committed to serve God for the rest of his life. Yanga had established a movie hall dubbed \u2018The One Film Production\u2019. <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n
