KZN government to pay half of Mampintsha's funeral costs: The KwaZulu-Natal government will pay half the costs of Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo’s funeral, said the premier's office on Wednesday.
“As a province, within our policy, we have decided that a megastar of this magnitude deserves our support as he exits the stage and departs for the last time to the world beyond,” said premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube.
Mampintsha and Big Nuz led a musical revolution in South Africa that focused the eyes of the world on KwaZulu-Natal. “Working under the Afrotainment label Big Nuz revolutionised kwaito and township dance music, making KwaZulu-Natal the mecca of entertainment, whereas it used to be Gauteng. During his life, this genre opened doors for hundreds of young artists who make a living from this KZN-born dance music.
“On behalf of the provincial government we express our deepest condolences to the family, friends and followers of Mampintsha. We will play our part to facilitate a decent send-off for this pioneering artist as he drops the mic for the last time,” said Dube-Ncube.
