Mpura, real name Mongezi Stuurman, was one of the pioneers of Amapiano. He worked with Busta 929 on massive hits, including Umsebenzi Wethu, VSOP, and Usizo. Mpura’s songs were groove anthems and were on high rotation on radio and TV stations, and received massive streams on digital music platforms.
WHEN DID MPURA DIE?
Mpura was at the top of his game when he passed away. Mpura, Killer Kau, and several other upcoming artists died in a car accident on 7 August 2021. They were on their way to a gig when the head-on collision on the N4 in Rustenburg near the Marikana toll gate claimed their lives.
Their deaths sent shock waves across the country with scores of people taking to social media to pay tributes to the fallen stars.
BUSTA 929 BUYS ANOTHER PROPERTY
Busta 929 made headlines recently when he shared that he bagged himself another property. Flexing his massive win, the music producer took to his timeline and posted pictures of himself signing a title deed to his new crib.
Busta 929 didn’t let Mpura’s death affect his career. Since his friend’s passing, Busta has been cooking new music, gigging around the country, and making a fortune for himself.
Babes Wodumo also remembered her late husband, Mampintsha. The Gqom Queen posted a video of the Big Nuz member chatting with their son, Sponge Wodumo. Mapintsha, real name Mandla Maphumulo, was ready to film when Sponge toddled on set.
The late bubbly star hilariously told his boy to slow down or he would start sending him to the shop. Mampintsha, who made hits with Babes, died on 24 December 2022. The Wololo hitmakers were also reality TV stars.
