Sechaba Pali, a gospel artist, has been inconsolable since the death of his wife, Nompilo Shabangu, in a vehicle accident.
On her way home from a Welkom event on Sunday, the gospel star’s wife lost control of the automobile while attempting to pass a taxi and was thrown out of the driver’s seat when the BMW skidded.
Sechaba, who was in the passenger seat, sustained a minor injury to his arm.
“I don’t know how to explain to my children that I left with their mother but she will not be coming back with me. I am heartbroken. Mpilo was an amazing singer. She was a great mother and I am heartbroken. I lost the mother of my child,” he told Sowetan’s sister publication TshisaLIVE.
The tragic accident near Boitumelo Junction saw community members rushing to the scene and taking pictures and videos.
Nompilo featured on Sechaba’s latest album Send Me in the song Thixo Bawo.
Sechaba stated that he will miss his wife because of how kind, caring, and generous she was.
“Mpilo was a God-fearing woman.” She handed three needy youngsters R200 for food a few minutes before the disaster.”
