Tina Mkwaiwa not coping with Prosper's death

An emotional and shattered Tina Mkwaiwa is struggling to believe that Prosper is dead.

It emerged late on Sunday night that Prosper died while on his way to the hospital after complaining about a high fever.

The music promoter's friend, Jacob Mnisi confirmed the horrible news to the Daily Sun.When The Juice made contact with Tina this morning, the phone was answered with emotional sobs and screams from her.

A clearly distraught Tina insisted that Prosper was okay. "He's fine, he's okay," she sobbed.

An unidentified male had to step in as Tina was in no condition to speak. "The reports are true, Tina is just emotional and in denial. She needs space right now," he told us.

The man could not give any further details about when Prosper's funeral will be held.

Meanwhile, tributes have been pouring in on social media as his friends and colleagues learn about his death.

One of his industry friends Arthur Mafokate, posted on Instagram that he just couldn't believe that Prosper was gone. "I have been in denial for the last 1 hour 30 minutes #RIPProsper," he wrote.

May his soul rest in peace!
