On Wednesday, 9 August, a video doing the rounds on Twitter showing Tokollo Tshabalala, the son of the late South African Kwaito legend Mandoza—real name Mduduzi Edmund Tshabalala who tragically died in 2016 had netizens commenting about their resemblance.
RIP: HOW DID MANDOZA DIE?
Mandoza became an international sensation with popular hit songs such as 50/50, Nkalakatha, Respect Life, Uzoyithola Kanjani, Sgeleke, and more. He died in Johannesburg on 16 September 2016 after a year-long cancer battle.
Despite having lost his sight due to illness, weeks before his passing, at 38 years old, Mandoza took to the Orlando Stadium in Soweto one last time, BBC reported.
