Mafikizolo have shut down reports that the group's Theo Kgosinkwe is dead.
Reports of the artist's supposed death surfaced on a number of misleading fake news sites recently, and were shared by Facebook users.
The reports claimed that Theo had been found dead in his home, bleeding from his nose. It also suggested that the artist had been struggling with his health for some time.
But taking to Instagram on Monday, Theo's bandmate Nhlanhla Nciza responded angrily to the reports, reassuring fans that Theo is "fine".
"Whoever started this rumour shame on you. To our true fans/supporters Theo is fine, " Nhlanhla wrote, next a picture of the article.
