Too soon!

South Africa this week woke up with the news that one of its talented icons had passed on at the tender age of 38, apparently suffering from throat cancer that had spread throughout his body.

His passing is indeed mourned, not only in South Africa but all over the world.

Through his signing he had crossed racial barriers and his signature tune “Nkalakatha” crossed all racial barriers with people of all colour and creed dancing to the tune, in clubs, gatherings etc.

The Hero of times……………….!

His death came too soon and as the Bolsheviks Party we would like to extend our condolences to the family for this sudden loss they had to suffer.

Mendoza …… you will be missed for not only your singing but for the reconciliatory culture that you embraced.

We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred
