Sad to learn of Steve Kekana’s death. He had great hits back in the day. And of course he covered James Chimombe quite well. MHSRIP. pic.twitter.com/wyC4piHYqD

Steve Kekana was a beloved musician in his prime and later went on to be an advocate of the high court and law lecturer. A life well-lived and truly inspirational. May his soul rest in peace #RIPSteveKekana ❤ pic.twitter.com/CKyJpqFZ3A

When we reflect about Steve Kekana we must talk about his ability to reinvent himself. From Mbaqanga in the 70's, to cross-stable pop collaborations with Sipho Hotstix, Hotline and Coyote. Then holding a Masters in Law and becoming an academic. Really hard to say #ripstevekekana
