Sfiso had experienced breathing problems after performing at the Thobela FM Praise and Worship Festival at Burgersfort in Limpopo. Ayanda recently wrote a tell-all book dedicated to Sfiso.

Speaking to TshisaLive in an interview Ayanda said Sfiso’s life was misinterpreted on social media so she decided to write a memoir about the realities of the late singer’s life. She also said that the book would include everything about her husband’s life.

Another star who recently mourned the passing of her loved one is Azania Mosaka. In a post on Instagram, she revealed that she lost her father in July.

The radio host captioned her post “My father died on Saturday. I’m a mess. It’s not a dream.” The piece details how life becomes strange after losing a loved one. It reads, ” When you lose someone you love, your life becomes strange, the ground beneath you becomes fragile, your thoughts make you unsure and some dead echo drags your voice down, where words have no confidence.”

Oskido also recently lost his dad to COVID-19, “It’s with great sadness to let you know that I have lost my old man due to COVID19, a great man who inspired me to understand the value of life. So long Mdala, rest well. I will see you again in the next lifetime. You’ve shown us a way & shone the light Akwehlanga lungehlang,” he tweeted.
