The dream home that late Maskandi star Scebi "Inkos'yamagcokama" Dlamini never got to finish is finally taking shape, with his fiancée sharing that the build is steadily moving towards completion.

Dlamini, who was just 29 years old, died in a car crash in Richards Bay in August while on his way to a music festival. He left behind not only a grieving family and a loyal fanbase, but also an ambitious double-storey house that he had named eHlalankosi — a project that was still far from finished at the time of his passing.

Thanks to financial contributions from well-wishers, significant progress has been made on the property. Windows and doors have been fitted, and electrical wiring work is underway.

Mbali took the opportunity to clear up a misconception that had been circulating online. She confirmed that the construction company working on the house was not donating its services — the firm was properly contracted and paid for its work using the funds that had been raised.

Speaking about what the home means to her, Mbali expressed deep gratitude to everyone who contributed.

"Most importantly, thank you to every individual who contributed financially towards the house. Your contributions are helping with something deeply important to my husband. Now the house will be a home to our children and me," she said.
