Gospel star Sechaba Pali in car during accident that killed wife

Gospel singer Sechaba Pali and his wife Nompilo Kunene spent some of the last moments of her life together, after a fatal car crash in Welkom over the weekend.

The pair were travelling home together on Sunday from an event when their car was involved in a crash in Thabong, Welkom.

Sechaba was in the car with his wife when the accident occurred. He survived with minor injuries. The couple’s families said the musician was drawing strength from friends and fans.

“We, as a family, thank you for always believing and trusting his (Sechaba) ability and earnest to serve the Lord even in the times he went through.

“This is another loss he suffers and hopes your love continues so that he may draw courage from you after losing the love of his life, friend, mother to his children, and fellow worshipper who went to all his events to support and sing alongside him,” the family said in a statement.

‘I don’t know how to explain to my children – Sechaba

The gospel singer detailed his heartbreak to TshisaLIVE and said he does not know how to tell his kids that they will never see their mother again.

“I don’t know how to explain to my children that I left with their mother but she will not be coming back with me. I am heartbroken. Mpilo was an amazing singer. She was a great mother, and I am heartbroken. I lost the mother of my child.

“Mpilo was a giving woman of God. A few minutes before the accident, she gave some kids who were hungry R200 for food,” he said.

According to the publication, Nompilo lost control of the car while attempting to overtake a taxi and got tossed out as the car drifted.

A few days ago, Sechaba was performing in Botswana at the 1st Annual Ikgalaletse Gospel Show.

Taking to Instagram, he said: “We thank God for the grace to have such encounters. Let’s keep the event in prayer.”
