Popular Tanzanian Bongo Flava singer Mandojo has tragically died.
On Sunday, August 11, 2024, Mandojo was beaten to death after being mistakenly identified as a thief.
Musician Soggy Doggy confirmed his passing on social media, writing: “My heart is in great pain. I will miss you dearly, my brother and friend. Rest in peace, Mandojo. Life is so short. I’m deeply sorry to your family and friends, and especially to @domokayatz. God’s work has no mistakes.”
Colleague Domo Kaya also paid tribute, saying: “Daaaah MY SON, I can’t believe that the 22nd of this month was supposed to be your birthday. This is so sad. Rest in peace. May God grant you eternal light, friend and brother.”
Mandojo was killed just days before his birthday and is remembered for hit songs like “Nikupe” and “Dingi.”
