An investigation is under way to establish the cause of the accident. We are again appealing to people to adhere to the regulations as most accidents happen way past curfew time.

Mpura shone bright recently during the rise of the amapiano genre, having been part of great collabs that gave Mzansi hits including Umsebenzi Wethu. Killer Kau, real name Sakhile Hlatshwayo on the other hand, burst into the spotlight when he was “discovered” on Twitter.
