He taught us a lot about music and spirituality as a nation.” Mhlongo, who met Mnomiya in 2000 in person, was planning to celebrate the choral expert with his choir this year by performing one of his cantataSiyabulela Sokhokele Ntlale said on Facebook about Mnomiya: “It’s sad that the renowned South African choral composer is no more.
