Founder of the gospel music group Avante, Linda Gcwensa has died. The 47-year-old singer-songwriter from KwaMashu, north of Durban, has been unwell for a number of years and was admitted to hospital last week.
Avante enjoyed great success after they were spotted in 1993 by Mbongeni Ngema. Their debut album Yek’ iJerusalema reached gold status and their 2003 release ‘Qina’ went platinum. “He was sick. As I think you know he’s been sick for years. He has been in and out of the hospital and he was getting better, you know. He had a problem with his kidneys. He died in hospital in the early hours of this morning around about 1:30 am.
The remaining members of the group, Lucky Cele and James Langa are taking the death of Gcwensa very badly. This comes after two other members of the group passed away a few years ago.“Oh they are not ok; they are depressed because you know they have lost another two members in the previous years, so now it’s opening the wounds.
