a�?Mandoza was not brokea��

Mandozaa��s family have come out strongly to quash any rumours surrounding his financial affairs during a press conference held in Soweto on Monday.

The Kwaito legenda��s family held a press conference at Soweto Theatre on Monday where the family thanked the nation for its overwhelming support since Mandozaa��s death on Sunday afternoon.

Mandoza lost his long-standing fight against cancer while being rushed to hospital, after his health took a turn for the worse.

Speaking to TMG Entertainment at the press briefing on Monday, family spokesperson Mohlomola Kekana said they wanted to send a clear message, before rumours and speculation surrounding Mandozaa��s financial affairs started doing the rounds.

Mohlomola said that a�?broke reportsa�� have been known to follow the death of well-known personalities, and they wanted to set the record straight from the onset.

a�?Mandoza is not a pauper. He is not a charity case a�� he is a husband, a father and a friend. And his family are taking care of all of his funeral arrangements,a�? he said.

Mohlomola went on to say that Mandoza was a a�?decent mana�? who worked hard all his life and he will be given a proper send-off by his family.

It was also announced at the press briefing that a public memorial service would be held in Mandozaa��s honour on Wednesday at 12 noon at Ellis Park.

Mandoza died on Sunday afternoon just days after his family issued a statement confirming that doctors had detected a tumour in his brain.

The Nkalakatha hitmaker was first diagnosed with cancer in May last year but was given a clean bill of health after undergoing chemotherapy. a�� Times Live
