Their presence at the homestead carried particular weight given the circumstances. Having witnessed the tragedy firsthand, their decision to show up for the family spoke volumes about the bonds within the Maskandi community. After his passing, many other artists from other genres paid tribute to the Maskandi star.
Mjolisi goes the extra mile
Fellow Maskandi artist Mjolisi also made his way to the family to express his condolences. Going beyond words of comfort, Mjolisi donated two cows and a sheep to assist the family with funeral arrangements, offering the kind of practical, material support that carries deep cultural significance in Zulu tradition.
As preparations for Dlamini's funeral continue, the stream of visitors to the homestead reflects just how deeply the late star was loved and respected within the industry. Known by his stage title 'Inkosi Yamagcokama', meaning King of the Gcokama, Dlamini had carved out a distinctive place in the Maskandi world, and his sudden passing on Wednesday, 12 August 2026, has left a void that his peers are clearly feeling.
The outpouring of support from the music fraternity serves as a testament to the camaraderie that defines the Maskandi genre, with artists putting aside their own schedules to stand beside a grieving family in one of their darkest moments.
