condolences
“With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of a bright light; the Lion of Lesotho’s sun has set.”
No words can describe how sorry we are for the loss of his family, friends, and coworkers in this terrible time.
A close friend of the singer told newsaih.com that he was travelling with Lizwi Wokuqala and Puleng Phoofolo, two musicians who work with him.
The Free State Department of Health says that three men were pronounced dead at the scene of an accident on the N1 near the Koppies turnoff near Kroonstad.
A man and a woman were taken to Boitumelo Regional Hospital.
According to newsaih.com, the singer was going from Gauteng to his home country of Lesotho through the Free State.
Malome Vector became well-known in the hip-hop and Afro-pop scenes in South Africa.
After Ambitiouz Entertainment found him in 2020, he became famous and released hits like “Dumelang” and “Nobody.”
When he quit the record company, The Whole Time Entertainment, last year to start his own, it caused a stir.
Later, he made a deal with Ingrooves Africa (Electromode), one of the best distributors in the world, to sell his music.
His first artist was Lizwi Wokuqala, and his most recent song, eLesotho, came out last week.
When Malume Vector and Durban rapper Baq Diamond worked together on the hit song “Dumelang,” Vector said that the song was about “Dumelang to the world.” The Sotho word for “hello” is dumelang.
Malome Vector of Lesotho always had big plans for himself, even growing up in Maseru’s hilly areas.
“I grew up with mountains as a backdrop, and I liked taking care of animals.” “While I dream of what’s beyond the horizon and think of all the things that could happen in my life,” he told the press.
Because he mixed hip-hop, Afropop, and Sotho folk music (famo), the artist followed his dreams. He then moved to South Africa.
Vector’s seven-track EP 1964 came out earlier this year. It features Ntate Stunna and Mlindo The Vocalist.
