Tragedy for Kwaito star Professor
Published: 2013 May 13 07:37:29 (6640 Views)
IT WAS an evening of triumph and tears for top kwaito artist, Professor.
He opened and closed the Sama awards ceremony and was crowned the Prince of Kwaito when he won the award for best kwaito album.
But his joy turned to sorrow when he got a call to say his elder brother, Mandla Langa, had died. Professor, real name Mkhonzeni Langa, posted the sad news on his Twitter page.
"Thanks for having faith in me and the love for @kalawaJazmeeR. (As I was) driving back home to Durban, my elder brother passed on."
A family friend told the People's Paper: "Mandla had been sick for a while and he passed away at his home at Ezinqoleni in Port Shepstone on the south coast."
Professor said: "I don't want to talk about the passing of my brother, but anyway thanks for the support. I'm on my way to KZN to be with my family."
Kalawa Jazmee co-owner Oscar Mdlongwa said: "He must be strong because such things do happen. Only God knows why."
Professor might also miss the big MTV Base event where he has been booked to perform alongside Snoop Lion, as well as Nigerian artists Flava, 2Face and D'banj in KZN this weekend.
In February, Professor landed himself in hot water when he arrived at the Metro FM Music Awards wearing an eThekwini Metro Police uniform.
He was arrested and fined R3000 for his action.
