THE funeral of kwaito musician Tokollo "Magesh" Tshabalala is currently underway.
The service is being held at Rhema Bible Church in Randburg, Joburg.
The TKZee member died on Monday, 15 August, after an epileptic seizure.
And his sister, Kutloano, spoke to Daily Sun about the cause of his death.
"After his car accident in 2001, he suffered a severe brain injury and trauma. One of the things that came from that were epileptic seizures, but he was managing them. He was undergoing treatment and we had adjusted," she said.

His friends and fellow musicians Mapaputsi and Mdu Masilela, who also discovered him, told the People's Paper that they were heartbroken.
"We are saddened by the loss. What a talented icon and artist," said Mdu.
Mapaputsi said they were not excepting his death because he had not been sick.
"At least when someone is sick, we get to prepare ourselves. We didn't get the chance to do that with Magesh, but there's nothing we can do now."
He will be laid to rest at Westpark Cemetery, and the memorial service will be held on Wednesday, 24 August, at his former high school, St Stithians College.
