One of the first popular people I met shortly after I moved to Joburg, we were all over Melville. I got home at 7am because of this woman, and ended burning food trying to make breakfast 🤣🤣🤣

They ignored your legacy as one of Kwaito's female rap pioneers. I wish time was on your side to prove them wrong 🖤 RIP Mshoza. pic.twitter.com/sgST0SsFTf
