Cape Town - Longtime friend of Mandoza - Danny K - shared a heartfelt tribute to his friend.
"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," he wrote on Instagram.
"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."
He ends off by saying, "Deepest condolences to Mpho and the family"
