Damn Covid19…You keep on stealing from us.May the Soul of Tsepo Mobu Tshola rest in Glory
Death be not proud. It has once again stolen a giant in the African music industry. I never thought that this great Soul will die at a time where he is needed in our life time. My soul and spirit are so devastated by his death. I thank God for affording me an opportunity to show him my love for him whilst he was still alive.
May His Godly Soul rest in eternal peace
