Betty Khombo Masitha, mother of the music producer Stamp “Chicco” Twala, passed away.
Masitha, 84, died Sunday of heart failure after suffering a stroke.
She will be buried Thursday in the Nasrec Cemetery, where only close relatives will be able to attend the funeral due to Covid-19 regulations.
Speaking to SowetanLIVE on Monday, Twala said that his mother had a great influence on the man he was today.
“My sister contacted me on Saturday saying that my mother was not responding to the medication and on Sunday she died. I lost my father two years ago, but losing a mother is a totally different feeling. My mother was a pillar of my strength. I feel like I’ve lost everything now that she’s gone, “he said.
Twala’s father, Elias Twala, died at the age of 96.
“As you know, as men, sometimes we run away from our responsibilities and my mother has always been there. She was very supportive and made sure we had a better education. “
Twala, who described his mother as a hard worker, said he inherited not only his good looks from her, but also entrepreneurial skills that have led him to be a successful businessman.
He said his mother was a successful Shebeen queen and also sold live chickens.
“She taught me everything I know about business. She used to say that if you want to be successful in life, you have to stand up on your own. He said you can get guidance and advice from others, but it’s important to put in the effort. “
Twala has asked the public not to attend the funeral in large numbers.
“I know that most of our friends and family would have loved to attend the funeral, but due to the Covid-19 restrictions, it will not be possible. We thank you for your condolences, messages and prayers, it really means a lot to me and my family.
