Sad Note: South African Gospel Artist Sfiso Ncwane Dies!

South African popular gospel singer Sfiso Ncwane has died at the age of 37 of kidney failure. Sfiso who was rushed to hospital on Sunday night died less than 24 hours later. The singer made headlines last year after he bought his pastor a R1.9-million Mercedes-Benz. This was after the pastor  “saved his life through prayer.”

Ncwane produced award-winning hits including Phakama Nkosi yeZulu and Kulungile Baba. He won record of the year at the 2013 South African Music Awards. He was also known very well here in Botswana, where he has held a few concerts.

Sfiso was very close to our very own KaitoKwas star Vee Mampeezy, and the 2 have been working n a song together. The pint sized singer has not said anything on the matter yet. The news about Sfiso’s death first came through a woman by the name of Mmatona Ntuane who apparently works at the KZN Department of Health on Twitter earlier today.
