Mandoza dies at 38

Fans are saddened by the passing of  kwaito legend, Mandoza.

According to EWN, the musician, who had a brain tumour, died around midday after being taken to hospital in the morning.

The star brought us many hit tracks including Nkalakatha, Godoba, Tornado and Sgelekeqe. Fans last saw Mandoza on stage performing at the 'Thank You SABC' concert which took place last weekend.

Several people, including fans, celebrities and politicians, have taken to social media to send their tributes.

Eish RIP Mandoza

We mourn the death of Mandoza together, the dispossessed, historically disadvantaged, privileged, those who are captured, the rich and poor!

Mandoza will go down as the only South African artist who almost erased racism and painted a rainbow nation with Nkhalakhatha #RIP Legend

At least once a day for the past 10 years I'm asked "Hey DK.. Where is Mandoza?". Today I'm heartbroken to know that I won't be asked that question ever again. My friend and SA music legend is gone. He was a true game changer that we all loved. It didn't matter if you were from Soweto, Sandton or Somerset West - Mandoza made you get down. There will never be another quite like him. I'll miss you dawg, thank you for the music and the memories we had together. Deepest condolences to Mpho and the family #Mandoza ?
