The love-hate relationship between Mzansi and Rasta continued after the latter was at it again, this time, after producing a 'masterclass' of late Amapiano star Sakhile "Killer Kau" Hlatshwayo.

Hlatshwayo died tragically in an accident that claimed the lives of fellow Amapiano star Mpura and three others on Saturday, 7 August, when the car they were travelling in collided with another vehicle on the N4 in Marikana on their way to a performance in Rustenburg.

There has been an outpouring of shock and dismay as South Africans attempt to come to terms with the death of the five artists. Both Killer Kau and Mpura have since been laid to rest.

Rasta, paying his respects at the funeral service of Hlatshwayo on Sunday, 15 August, did not fail in delivering the goods he has become infamous for – presenting the family with a painting of the fallen star.
