Several sources have since confirmed news of his death. Confirmed reports have it that he has been battling with some health complications after a botched operation in 2022. However, reports have it that he had his last breath after losing his long battle with stomach cancer. The celebrated Kwaito star General GTZ was diagnosed with stomach cancer during an operation.
In one of his interviews, the late Kwaito star said that he learnt that the doctors had allegedly cut the wrong tubes in his gut area during an operation.
However, this is when his health complications started. According to ZiMoja, his situation worsened because he was struggling to settle his medical bills.
FAMILY STATEMENT
Against the trends, his family has since confirmed the news.
“The family of Siphiwe “General GTZ” Sibisi announces with deep sadness our great loss suffered through the passing of our dear one, after hospitalisation where he underwent major surgery,” the family said in a statement.
Despite showing signs of recovery a few days ago, the Kwaito legend died earlier today, according to his family. The family also thanked those who helped and supported him all his years.
“We wish to thank all those who loved and supported him during all his years as a prominent and pioneering music entertainer of our beloved South African people.
The other part of the statement read, “May his beautiful, kind spirit live on through the legacy of his Kwaito.”
However, his death is barely a few weeks after Kwaito legend Mapaputi’s passing.
