Expressing his gratitude for the honor, Kani, whose influential career spans several decades, remarked, “I am deeply moved by this recognition. I have always been amazed and delighted by how my work has been received by critics and audiences.”

In addition to the OBE, Kani has been the recipient of numerous accolades, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from the South African Film and Television Awards and the Order of Ikhamanga Silver for his significant contributions to theatre during the struggle for a non-racial, non-sexist, and democratic South Africa.
