Popular South African gospel musician Lundi Tyamara has died aged 38 after a battle with abdominal tuberculosis and a liver ailment.
His death, at a hospital in the commercial capital, Johannesburg, came a day after a night vigil was held at the city’s Central Methodist Church to pray for his recovery, the local IOL new site reports.
Last month, another South African gospel star, Sfiso Ncwane, died of kidnry failure at the age of 37. Fans of Tyamara have been ayng tribute to him on Twitter:
He put up a good fight, he ran his race and now belongs to the ages. Rest in perfect peace Lundi Tyamara. #RIPLundi #MphefumloWam pic.twitter.com/gjmYfQtkop
