LIRA: LATEST POST
The afro pop singer Lira took to her social media pages on Saturday, 23 to share the news of her mom, Buyi Radebe’s passing.
Molapo also confirmed that her mother passed away on Wednesday, 20 November by posting her birthdate and death date: “7 March 1956 to 20 November 2024.”
The musician’s mother passes away less than two years after surviving cancer.
According to Zimoja, Molapo revealed at a women’s event in August 2023: “Eight months after I had a stroke, my mom was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer. This is a woman who is a health fanatic, spends hours at the gym, takes care of herself, and eats well. The cancer was a shock to us. The cancer took away her livelihood. She spent three months in the hospital; she was so sick,” she said.
The South African will give an update on Radebe’s memorial and funeral services soon.
