How Osman Mula remembers the prominent comedian from Shkodran: I had him as a childhood friend

The well-known director Osman Mula remembered the great actor from Shkodran, who passed away today. "I heard the news three minutes ago. It came as a bombshell. I felt bad, because Zefi has been my closest friend since I was little since I started the first grade. When they saw us in Shkodër, they said where Zefi is, there is Osmani, where Osmani is, there is also Zefi.

He is a man with a big heart. Very soon it was seen that he would spend his life on stage. He imitated very well since he was little. It was very nice. Zephy had been ill recently. I was in Shkodër three weeks ago for the Luleborë festival and I asked about Zefi and they told me it is not good and they told me not to go in this condition. I would have had a very hard time. He never went to Shkodër without seeing Zefi. Zefi had a boy who loved the theater.

Zefi didn't say that he was a great actor. Zefi did not play the great actor in everyday life, but he was a real actor on stage. It takes us years to talk about Zefi. Zefi studied the clarinet, but he didn't like it. He wanted to capture 70 professions. He saw a person on a bicycle and was ready to analyze it in detail. He brought all these categories of people before the society and the Albanian society accepted him", he said.

The director of the Migjeni Theater shows the legacy of Zef Deda

Rita Gjeka, the director of the Migjeni theater in Shkodër, said that Deda was a light of a bright era for the Migjeni theater.

"Even though the age difference with Zefi is not big, I had him as an idol. He was not only a great actor, but the Zef Deda phenomenon. It has left an era. We lived in that age and he was the light. He loved the stage and the passion he had, he had it to rise as much as possible. The legacy he left will become a reality. Kuliçi has also taken over the direction of the theater. Zefi's bequest will be completed. Gone at a very young age. Even in his youth he had some problems with his legs. But he overcame them with his humor. Now the evil disease struck him. I didn't go to meet him, because I wanted to remember Zefi as before. Zefi was loved by all the people, everyone appreciated him. Even the opposition and the position, I think, has been rewarded. He also received the special pension, at least he didn't get left behind. He had his own income, even though he had two wonderful sons. Comrade Xhemal, I single him out as a role," she said.
