His widow Lindiwe confirmed to Sowetan that there was an initial “misunderstanding” over where he should be buried but everyone is now in agreement that he will be buried at their home in Ebony Park, Midrand, on Saturday.

“Yes, there was a disagreement with the family but now an agreement has been reached,” she said.

She continued to say, “It was more of a misunderstanding because most people knew him to live at his birthplace [Tsepo section in Tembisa]. Most people didn’t know he had a house in Midrand. Because people would see him in Tembisa with his siblings, they thought he still stayed there.”

Condolences go out to his family and friends. Hopefully all the preparations shall go well.
