South African kwaito musician Mduduzi ‘Mandoza’ Tshabalala has died.
His family has confirmed that he lost his battle to cancer earlier today, about a year after he had been diagnosed with a brain tumour.
He was admitted to hospital a week ago, with his family later confirming that he was home and in a stable condition. Fans have already taken to social media to express their shock at the musician’s passing.
The star produced multi-platinum hits like Nkalakatha, Godoba and Sgelekeqe, and collaborated with Danny K on Same Difference.
Mandoza started his career with Chiskop, a kwaito group formed with three of his childhood friends. He participated in the kwaito documentary SHARP! SHARP! – the kwaito story, directed by Aryan Kaganof and the 2006 rugby drama, Number 10.
Last week his family confirmed he was being treated at home for a brain tumour.
Mandoza’s producer, Gabi le Roux posted the following message on Facebook on September 6: “Mpho and the Tshabalala family has asked all his friends and fans to pray for him, beckon the ancestors and keep him in your thoughts during this time.”
