I'm saddened by his passing and watching him use the little strength and breath he had just to experience joy in the midst of his pain indicates his fighting and winning spirit. He poured out his passion till his last breath. His music was a form of ministry. It ministered to him in his last days " Indoda ingawa namhlanje, kusasa imphinde evuke" (apologies for the spelling errors). He passed knowing God and for that we can be assured that God is giving him rest. His last words to his fans " our life's are in God's hand. Amen.
I still can't believe this inspiration is gone...he motivated a black child....that they are worth...more than being criminals and gangsters,, if you work hard...you can even sing and share your life experiences with the world....Rip Sgelegeqhe, Godoba,,Nkalakatha..your music is still going to be known and enjoyed by generations to come, because of your creativity, and how you gave and shared your talent with not only SA but the rest of the world....
ohh please Ms....u should be the one to shut the F up u can see these pple are still broken inside, tell me that is the way... to cry on national TV Im not sayin they should grieve in any other way....
Hi my heart goes out 2 His son & family,, I lost my brother 5yrs ago..He also died of an aggresive cancer the docters could not tell us what kind a cancer it was,,He lived with it 4 also 5yrs...I will keep U all in my prayers...*
Really Heart breaking to loose our "Nkalakatha," But God knows best! May his soul RIP I'm still in disbelief May God be with Mpho and all his children, And give her the strength, during this very difficult time. It aint easy to lose someone so close to you.
Seriously do not understand why they will put the family and friends through this. as much as this is newsworthy, the family shouldn't have agreed to this interview.
My issue is not who spoke for the family. My issue is the timing. If they had done this one or two days later, it would have been better. I'm assuming this interview was HOURS after Mandoza died. The family hasn't even began to process what's going on and you're bringing his young son to talk about his father's death? I don't know. It just seems a little out of taste.
Its not like it was a sudden death...when someone is that sick for that long, you unconciously become prepared for anything that might come. The one thing that will test you more than death is watching your loved one die slowly and knowing there is nothing you can do about it. Trust me its fresh for you but not for them.
