“This country failed to help someone who was in hospital in need of an operation,” he said. Mbuli further mentioned that the government always sets aside millions in funds, but “they could not save the life of Solly Moholo.”

Mbuli also slammed the alleged tribalism in the radio stations and the manner in which Gospel music is only played on Sundays.

“Solly, when he gets there, he’ll meet up with Lucky Dube and Miriam Makeba and tell them that the land isn’t back to its rightful owners. Tribalism is still on at the radio station; radio stations catering to Zulu and Xhosa don’t play Solly Moholo, and gospel music is played on Sundays. Still, all this junk from other countries is on high rotation on the airwaves. Today, Solly Moholo’s music is being played on every radio station.”

"Ordinary citizens go through these on a daily basis while making little to none. At his peak, Solly was very big, selling a lot. Iphi leyomali? Taxpayers' money is not for celeb personal issues."

Winnie Mashaba slammed for displaying flashy lifestyle

In a previous report from Briefly News, Gospel singer Winnie Mashaba was slammed for over-flashing her luxury lifestyle while she was visiting Solly Moholo's family.

The singer got on her private jet to help her late mentor when he was still alive. Mzansi felt as though she lacked empathy by trying to be showy.
