(The Post News)- DJ and comedian Peter “Mashata” Mabuse’s lively beats were tragically silenced in a hail of gunfire during his final show at the Epozini Lounge in Soshanguve block G. It was a heartbreaking turn of events. As word spread that Mabuse had died suddenly, just seconds after leaving the event due to a violent attack, the festive mood gave way to fear. Witnesses claim that two attackers, who have not yet been named and are suspected to age 45 and 46 years, ambushed Mabuse’s car close to the Soshanguve Tshwane University of Technology and opened fire.Â
Emergency personnel did their hardest to save Mabuse, but he passed away at the site. The passenger who was with him also suffered injuries and is being treated at a neighboring hospital. The Tshwane Police have opened a thorough inquiry into Mabuse’s death. The community is still in shock over the death of a beloved performer, and they are struggling to deal with the shock and pain that follows such a senseless act of violence as the details surrounding the horrific tragedy come to light.
The influence of Peter “Mashata” Mabuse goes far beyond his skill as a comic and DJ. Being the creator and director of Mashata-Tainment, he had a significant impact on the entertainment sector. Not only did he win over listeners with his perceptive sports analysis on Tshwane University of Technology’s TUT FM 96.20, but he also cemented his reputation in the sports world with his enthusiastic announcements at football grounds for clubs such as Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates FC. Mabuse, who was born and raised in Hammanskraal, Gauteng, shown tenacity and enthusiasm on his journey from the streets of Mabopane, a residential township in the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, to the stages he graced. His excitement, represented by his nickname “Mashata,” concealed the inner turmoil he endured as he navigated a difficult relationship with his father and sought comfort in football and music.
Peter’s manager, Gugu Ngubeni, conveyed the family’s appreciation for the outpouring of support and sympathies during this difficult period. The family of Mabuse has asked for solitude to grieve their awful loss. A family spokesperson will provide updates on memorial and funeral plans in the next few days. This will be a chance for the community to pay respects and say goodbye to a beloved person whose light was taken far too soon.
