Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) woke up to sad news that one of the greatest artist in South Africa have passed on in the car accident.

We are joining the entire humanity to also transcend our deepest condolences to the family of Joe Mafela, his fans and friends. We are emotionally bankrupt to learn that “Sdumo” have left us without any sign of goodbye.

This is the legend who have entertained many people not only in South Africa but the entire world through his incredible funny performance. He have inspired and discovered many talents.

Comrade Joe is a member of generation that fought for the struggle of this country, he did that through the film industry and his musical capabilities. He have helped to liberate his country. One should remember his hitsong “Shebeleza” which is a struggle liberatory song.
