TRIBUTES pour in for Mzansi musician, Marc Rantseli.
The music producer and songwriter's death was announced on Thursday morning, 9 November.
The 56-year-old was part of the dynamic music duo called MarcAlex.
The two brothers were known for their hit Quick Quick, which reached number one in the South African music charts in June 1989.
Marc died at a Joburg hospital.
Speaking to SABC’s Morning Live, his twin brother Alex said Marc was hospitalised with a brain disease.
"He was recovering until two weeks ago when he was admitted for high blood pressure and since then there was a lot of pressure in his brain," he said.
He said when he visited him on Wednesday night, 8 November he was no longer himself.
"The signs were there that he was fine, but I felt like something was different until I got a call that he had passed away,” he said.
