"Rest in Peace legendary Siphiwe Ignatius Mkhonza. Dr Mnandi played for 8 teams professionally analysing soccer will never be the same. You made us enjoy sports talks with Kasi lingo that we understand. Lala, Mfoka Mkhonza," wrote Rasta on IG, where he showed the different stages of painting the Mkhonza portrait.
