While some people were truly mourning the death of the legendary musician Sibusiso “R Mashesha” Khomo, others have used the opportunity to break into his apartment and stole his belongings.
News of the legendary musician’s death shocked fans across the country on Friday night.
Speaking to Daily Sun R Mashesha’s sister, Zonke Khomo explained that they opened their doors to mourners as it was part of the African tradition.
However, on Sunday they were shocked to find out that Mashesha’s outside room had been broken into. Apparently the thieves ransacked the room making off with the late musician’s Appple iMac laptop, two expensive watches, his Sony Playstation, sneakers and some of his clothes.
His sister, Zonke Khomo, told the paper: “We gathered for prayers on Sunday evening. When we were done, we found all his belongings were gone. It must have been people who knew which house was his. We had opened our gates and doors for mourners and thought everyone coming in was also in pains and mourning with us.”
She said they never thought that somebody would use the opportunity to steal from her late brother. She added that they will open a case with the police.
“We never thought somebody would come in and use the opportunity to steal from us, especially R Mashesha’s personal stuff. I find it inhumane and evil to steal from the dead. People have lost ubuntu,” she told the paper.
