Lundi was one of us, a fighter, who believed in economic freedom – EFF

The political party has paid tribute to the late gospel star.


“Lundi Tyamara was one of us. He sang and performed on EFF stages even when it was unfashionable to do so. When many artists were isolated and criticized for being associated with the EFF, Lundi stayed with us because in essence, he believed in the course and generational call of Economic Freedom.

“Not only did he remain in our associations, Lundi openly supported the EFF. It is therefore not just an artist that has fallen but a revolutionary who used his talent to awaken our people spiritually and to partake in generational revolution of his time,” the EFF said in a statement.

Lundi died on Friday morning at an Edenvale hospital. He succumbed to stomach TB and liver failure.
