South African singer Thandiswa Mazwai celebrated Tokollo "Magesh" Tshabalala's heavenly birthday.
The legendary Kwaito star and founding member of TKZee tragically died in the morning of 15 August 2022, from a reported epileptic seizure. This, according to a statement from his family. He was 45 years old.
On what would have been his 49th birthday on 14 October, the TKZee page on Twitter (X) posted an old video of Magesh reciting one of his verses and explaining the lyrics, all while affirming his passion for Kwaito.
In response to the nostalgic video, Thandiswa Mazwai hailed Magesh:
"The GOAT!"

Though their paths never crossed in song, it's clear that Magesh had a significant impact on King Tha, leading her to refer to him as the greatest of all time, a title typically given to a person or thing considered the best ever in a particular field.
Since Tokollo's passing at the height of TKZee's comeback, the group, consisting of Kabelo Mabalane (K) and Zwai Bala (Zee), went on a brief hiatus before finally returning to the stage.
Fans took to social media to celebrate Magesh's life and legacy with heartfelt messages, lamenting what could have been had he still been around.
