Mampintsha death prediction
The popular musician and businessman died on 24 December 2022 at the age of 40.
This follows reports earlier this week that the Big Nus singer and songwriter suffered a stroke.
Afrotainment released a statement on Thursday evening confirming Mampintsha had suffered a stroke after rumors about his health.
“This is a public notification by Afrotainment, a record label based in Durban, KZN, South Africa. This statement serves as a notification to the Public, Media, Promoters and Big Nuz fans about businessman and artist, Mandla Maphumulo,” read the release, which was posted on the Afrotainment Instagram page.

“The family has asked that the public and media respect their privacy during this time. The statement also added: “We ask that you keep him in your prayers. Afrotainment wishes him a speedy recovery, and we cannot wait for him to rock our stages again.”
Fans and celebrities took to social media wishing him a speedy recovery.
But, on Saturday, Mampintsha’s former manager, Dogg Durban confirmed the musicians passing to Durban Sun.
