Mandoza is dead and South Africa is in mourning.
Yesterday, News24 confirmed that the Kwaito star who had been battling cancer lost the battle. The tumours had spread to his brain.
Only a few weeks ago, the singer appeared at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto where he reportedly performed at the SABC Thank You Concert, honouring the local music content on the country’s radio stations.
Not long after the news of his death broke, President Jacob Zuma released a statement, mourning the cultural legend.
“South Africa has lost one of its pioneers whose music appealed to a cross-section of our people, young and old and was known to have achieved the unique crossover culturally to be enjoyed by both black and white South Africans,” Zuma said.
“It is a great loss to the nation and we wish to extend our deepest condolences to his wife Mpho, his family and hordes of fans. Mandoza will be sorely missed. May his soul rest in peace,” the statement concluded.
