Musicians and industry colleagues took to social media to post their tributes following the passing of Gospel musician, Neyi Zimu last night.
Zimu was recently diagnosed with skin cancer and was admitted for treatment of a rare blood disorder that affected his skin. The news broke on social media and everybody united in prayer for his passing.
Here are some of the musician’s condolences to his wife, Nelsisiwe Zimu and family:
Got a call this morning from Sis Nelle who says to me “Pastor Neyi has gone to be with the Lord” #RIPNeyiZimu ????
The Vaal has lost a giant, SA has lost a musical titan, and Gospel has lost a Shepard. But HEAVEN has gained a worship and choir leader. His will rest in power ✊???? pic.twitter.com/e7w8Mc3WiG
