"Yes, he left us last night and that is all I can confirm for now."
Mbambo was arrested in 2000 for 10 years after a botched highjacking of the owner of Fontana Fomous Roastery Greg Xenopoulos' Mercedes-Benz when he and two co-accused failed to pull a trigger to a malfunctioning gun.

Mbambo's marriage to Fassie was short-lived after the Nomakanjani hitmaker divorces him after two years, accusing him of being after his money, following the most extravagant wedding Mzansi has ever seen.
Veteran photojournalist Mbuzeni Zulu recalls the events surrounding the lavish day in an interview with SowetanLive, saying two sheep were slaughtered daily at her Langa home to feed the community in the days leading to the grand affair.
“Yvonne Chaka Chaka was the matron of honour. Then Rebecca Malope and Mercy Pakela were the other bridesmaids. There were also a number of upcoming artists in attendance and it attracted every artist in SA. It was a wedding with a great storm.
“That wedding until today is still my best wedding of all time. Her wedding gown was inspired by that of Princess Diana and Nhlanhla’s suit was inspired by Prince Charles. It was very expensive too.
