At some point #Nkalakatha was the anthem for revellers in both black and white nightclubs. He did his bit for social cohesion. #RIPMandoza

He was always so kind, sincere, polite, respectful and always giggling, he was never pompous! #RIPMandoza

Mandoza made his mark. I'll remember him for the hits and for his love for his wife Mpho and their children. #RIPMandoza

#RIPMandoza. You changed the way so many young black kids viewed their 'situation'.

You were monumental. 💔

Legend.

Cancer is such a f*** 😔 38! 38 is too young to go like that. This disease takes people from us every day #RIPMandoza

Heartbroken about Mandoza. He was a stand up guy who was just all heart and soul. He will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. #ripmandoza

God has decided to let nature take its coarse rather than prolong his suffering. #RIPMandoza may your soul rest in peace! #Nkalakatha
