Luzuko’s death occurred quite recently in terms of deaths in this country.

Most of the South African celebrities that passed away in 2021 will always be remembered fondly. People in Mzansi are grateful to them for helping improve their life. To many, the celebrities were an unintentional catalyst in their journey out of despair. Politicians and experts did the same thing, but in a myriad of different ways. I pray that their souls find eternal rest.
