Remembering the iconic late Mafoko

Mafoko, a reputable drummer and keyboardist died last Friday after a short illness. His passing on comes just less than a month after the death of yet another colleague and drummer, Polino Baleja.

The Ratholo born Mafoko was among the most popular instrumentalists during an era when Kwasa Kwasa dominated the local showbiz scene. For many people even those who were not fans of Kwasa Kwasa, the name Skonkovia would ring a bell as it was always mentioned by the likes of Biza Mupulu and when they provided the gimmicks during the dominant era of Alfredo Mos & Les Africa Sounds.
