South African musician and media personality Mshoza, real name Nomasonto Maswanganyi, has died.
Her manager, Thanduxolo Jindela, confirmed the news.
"It is with great sadness to announce the untimely death of Nomasonto "Mshoza" Maswanganyi. The Kortes hitmaker succumbed peacefully in the early hours of this morning. She was 37. She will be deeply missed as an ultimate entertainer who loved being on stage. Not only did she radiate star quality, Mshoza was a media darling.

The Kortez singer had two children.
The star was famous for her love of bleaching her skin and going under the knife. She was always frank about any changes she made to her body, including a bum augmentation in 2018.
“I know what I want to look like and I know it will cost me quite a bit of money,” she told Drum at the time.

Yet another loss to the music industry.
