Tanzanian Bongo Flava artist Mandojo has died. He was tragically beaten to death after being mistakenly identified as a thief.
Musician Soggy Doggy confirmed the news on social media, expressing his grief: “My heart is in great pain. I will miss you very much, my brother and friend.”
Another person wrote, Rest in peace. Mandojo, surely human life is very short on this earth. Sorry brothers, relatives and friends and I’m very sorry my brother @domokayatz God’s work has no mistakes.”
In a heartfelt tribute, his colleague Domo Kaya posted: “Daaaah MY SON, I can’t believe the 22nd of this month was meant to be your birthday. Aisee, why! This is so heartbreaking. Rest in peace. May God grant you eternal light, my friend, my brother.”
Mandojo was tragically killed just days before his birthday.
He was known for hit songs like ‘Nikupe’ and ‘Dingi.’
