usanda Mcinga, a retired gospel singer, is 59 years old and does not want lengthy eulogies during her funeral.

Instead, she desires that her fellow musicians commemorate her life in some way.

On July 27th, she made her official exit from the music industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She went on to explain the particulars of how she wished for her funeral to be carried out. She made this announcement during the premiere of her retirement album at the Savoy Hotel in Mthatha, which is located in the Eastern Cape.

“I have decided to end my career in music. You are now in possession of the baton. I would ask that you not mess with it. Please respect one another and take this music business to places I’ve never visited before. Do not fight with one another, and assist those who are afflicted with the illness.

“When I pass away, do not grieve; instead, take turns performing on stage and celebrate the life I led.” My memorial ceremony ought to be a revival, and you must not anticipate receiving payment for your performance at my funeral. I don’t believe you have a complete grasp of what the song Ndinga Ngakhe Ndisithele is trying to convey to you. “It’s no secret that I adore you,”

Butho Vuthela, a member of the gospel music community who was present at the occasion, shared that he experienced an emotional reaction when he heard Lusanda speak those words.

When she told me to stay behind, the event had just come to its conclusion. She restated what she had just said and challenged all of us to be even more powerful than we were. She stated that she had completed her task, and that it was now our responsibility to carry the torch on. This was much too in-depth, especially when she discussed the manner in which she desired her burial to be held.”

“I broke down in tears primarily due to the fact that her retirement was not appropriately commemorated. According to Vuthela, “It also felt as though she could see that the end of her life is getting closer.”

He expressed his regret that the Eastern Cape and the government weren’t doing anything to express their gratitude to her while she is still alive.

“I am saying this because she is not simply any artist; rather, she has put in a lot of effort for the sake of the music business as a whole. She has made the path clear for us to proceed. Vuthela remarked that “now is the time that we honour her.”

When the Daily Sun attempted to contact Lusanda, she responded with the following statement: “I am not in a good space to talk about this.”
