Majalisa's Death Dooms Splash :: Mmegi Online

Although at the time of her passing on last Thursday, Patricia Majalisa had long left the Dalom Music stable, fans across the world looked up to her as the surviving figurehead to continue the Splash music legacy after the death of her ex-husband, Dan Tshanda in January 2019.

Tshanda, Majalisa and their former band mate, Penwell Kunene had become the pillars of Splash music since its establishment. They became household names, and grew the brand beyond South African borders where they were idolised.

Their music became very popular in Botswana, Zimbabwe and neighbouring Namibia. They had built a strong ‘music empire’ that delivered beautiful music through iconic names such as Matshikos, Dalom Kids, Peacock, Thabile Mazolwane, and Botswana’s own Donald ‘Don b’ Botshelo, while Majalisa and Tshanda also produced solo albums under the stable.
