South African Kwaito Legend Doc Shebeleza Has Died

Legendary South African musician Doc Shebeleza, born Victor Bogopane, has passed away in hospital at the age of 51 after a prolonged illness.

The renowned businessman and kwaito veteran had been grappling with health issues for several years.

On December 2, 2024, Doc Shebeleza shared that he had undergone successful surgery, with plans for a second operation scheduled for February 2, 2025.

Tragically, this second procedure was not to happen, as his family confirmed the heartbreaking news of his death to Daily Sun on Thursday morning, January 9.

His daughter, Segaetsho, confirmed the news, saying “Yes, I can confirm that he passed away this morning.”

Segaetsho also said the family would release an official press statement.

In an emotional interview with Daily Sun in December 2024, Doc Shebeleza spoke candidly about the financial strain he faced due to his health struggles.

He revealed that he was spending over R20,000 on medication alone. At the time, he said his upcoming second surgery would cost a staggering R350,000 and he did not have the money.

Doc Shebeleza’s passing comes just days after the news of the death of singer and dancer Winnie Khumalo, who also succumbed to a short illness.

First gaining recognition in 1995 with his debut album Shebeleza, which featured the hit song “Ghets Ghetsa,” Doc Shebeleza rose to prominence with his 1996 album S’Kumfete.

This album produced several beloved tracks, including “Kum’nandi,” “Ebumnandini,” and “Ghetsa Ghetsa.”

In the 1990s, he founded the all-male group Amaskumfete, known for hits such as “Tsipa Tsipa.” Over the years, Doc Shebeleza released three more albums: Tiger (1997), Ebumnandini (2000), and Jiva Yoyo (2001).

His legacy was further underscored by the 2014 hit song “Doc Shebeleza” by Cassper Nyovest. Doc Shebeleza’s profound influence on the Kwaito genre inspired numerous artists, including Mandoza and Mapaputsi.

These days artists are dying in their masses at young ages...Fast foods gotta be the main culprit here...It's now good that the government of this country initialised a fast food tax to curtail the growing cancerous fast food sect...Those fatty foods are rich in carcinogenic organics and other health risk organics like unsaturated fats...All these pose a serious health risk to anyone enjoying those guilty fried chicken and potatoes etc...

Mataura henyu apo mdara vanhu vari kutengeserwa junk food @ premium prices yet they are destroying their bodies. Asi pane chekuti govt yapindira apo mati rasikei. The GoZ is broke haina kana cent saka pafast food tax nenjuga tax apo the Min of Finance kutongoedza kungwavha ngwavha muhomwe dzemacitizen.
