Mzansi personalities have reflected on the death of kwaito star Doc Shebeleza.

Doc Shebeleza, real name Victor Bogopane, died on Thursday after a long illness. His passing shocked the showbiz community as his fans were expecting him to get better as he often asked people to rally behind him with prayers.

TKZee family member Sbu Ntshangase, aka “Ma'Lawyer”, shared a sad message: “My brother, I was talking to you just yesterday and we planned to meet at your place next week since I’m still in KwaZulu-Natal. You sounded promising to get well. We even spoke about Winnie Khumalo’s passing. I told you I’m shocked about her passing and you said 'God remembered her'. Now you. I'm speechless and devastated.”

Metro FM DJ Tbo Touch told TshisaLIVE: “Doc was a larger-than-life human being. He treated everyone with respect, young and old. Our last conversation we shared a prayer and he told me to never subdue to pain. Well, this is going to hurt for a while.”

Eugene Mthethwa from Trompies shared on his social media page: “We closed the year by losing Solly Moholo. We start the year by losing Winnie Kumalo and Doc Shebeleza, all of them from natural causes. This calls for all of us to go for random check-ups and know our health status. RIP ma kwaitos, you shall forever be remembered for the great impact you made in the music industry.”
