Senyaka

Although late Kwaito star Thula ‘Senyaka’ Kekana has been gone for over three years, he is not forgotten. The star who passed away in 2015, will be celebrated on stage through a musical tribute titled A Night of Kwaito with Moruti wa Tsotsi's Friends to be held at the Joburg Theatre on 31 August. His buddy, Spikiri, together with fellow stars Kamazu, Mzekezeke, and Jairus featuring the talented Lerato Mvelase, will help bring this tribute to life. Mvelase, who was looking forward to playing the role of Senyaka on what was initially supposed to be a play, will now be presenting this musical tribute.
