Gauteng MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation MEC, Molebatsi Bopape, has learnt with sadness of the sudden passing of Soul Brothers legend David Masondo, who passed away over the weekend.
“I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the legendary musician from a well-known group Soul Brothers. He and the group touched the lives of many indigenous music lovers in South Africa and abroad since their formation in 1974, with over 35 albums produced”.
“In Masondo we’ve lost one of our greatest assets, a symbol of our indigenous knowledge and culture. We hope we can still have the group producing the kind of music we have come to be known and recognized for by the world. On behalf of the entire Gauteng government and its people, we’d like to express our sincerest sympathies to the family, members of the group and all loved ones. May his soul rest in peace and his legacy continue to be an inspiration for the nation” said MEC Bopape.
