UMSINGA - Fans remember Scebi Dlamini as a Maskandi superstar and a humble soul offstage.

“I love the song Bengidakiwe because I always imagined that he would sing at my wedding. His music represented women,” she said.
Another fan said: “I have been a fan of Scebi since I started following Maskandi music. I admired his humility and it taught me the value of being loved for who you are. He brought us authentic, old-school Maskandi. His loss cuts deep.”

“I learned of his death on Facebook that he had died, and my heart broke. For the entire week, I have been struggling to cope at work.”
