Watch: Inside Kwaito star Mshoza’s touching final send-off

Mshoza’s funeral service is underway today, Saturday 28 November at House of Treasures Ministries in the south of Joburg.

Friends and family members of the Kortes hitmaker have arrived at the church, where pain and sorrow is the order of the day.

But her frIends wanted to celebrate Mshoza, rather than mourn her, saying that’s because of who she was. They described her as a bubbly and energetic person who never let anything get her down.

Queen of Kwaito Mshoza, whose real name was Nomasonto Maswangayi, passed away last Thursday.

In 2014 she revealed she was diabetic and longtime manager Thandoxolo Jindela has confirmed the singer died from diabetes complications.

The 37-year old will be laid to rest at West Park Cemetery.

The funeral service of Kwaito queen Mshoza is currently underway. The musician's coffin arrived moments ago.

Twitter bullied Mshoza the most. Y’all body shamed her. Accused her of marrying for cash. Y’all never showed her love wen she was with us. Shocking how y’all hv so many good things to say now that she’s no more. She’s finally finding rest…. far away from u trolls. #RIPMshoza pic.twitter.com/IZb9nvqY3B
