Percy “Malwandle” Madonsela was a fan favourite for his vocal nature and “tell it like it is” attitude
Lwazi Madonsela, Malwandle’s brother, has confirmed his passing to Drum magazine, stating that he fell ill and suddenly died and the family is pleading for donations for the burial.
“I can’t give out many details about his passing. But yes, it is true. Malwandle died at Umhlanga hospital and the burial is this weekend in KZN,” Lwazi tells Drum.
“We kindly ask anyone who can assist financially towards the funeral to please come forward. I am in a predicament, making funeral arrangements.”
Lwazi says he has not had time to process the news and mourn but says maybe after the burial, all will sink in.
“Maybe I will get a chance to mourn after the burial and the arrangements have been made. Only then will I be able to speak.”
