UNDERTAKER steps aside from the late kwaito star’s funeral arrangements.Â
In an unexpected turn of events, GS Funeral Parlour will no longer oversee the funeral arrangements for late kwaito icon Sandile “Mapaputsi” Ngwenya, hours before his memorial service and two days before his burial.
Mapaputsi, who died on Thursday, 5 September following a short illness, will be remembered on Thursday, 12 September at Dlamini Multipurpose Centre in Soweto.
The funeral is set for Saturday, 14 September at West Park Heroes Acre Cemetery.
GS Funeral Parlour issued a statement announcing its decision to withdraw from facilitating Mapaputsiâs funeral service.
“GS Funeral Parlour announces that it will no longer be facilitating the funeral service of the fallen kwaito legend, Sandile ‘Mapaputsi’ Ngwenya, despite the family’s initial decision to appoint us as their service provider.

GS Funeral Parlour will no longer run Mapaputsi’s funeral arrangements
Mduduzi Sibanyoni, a family friend and spokesman, shed light on the situation. He explained that the family was unaware of Mapaputsiâs existing funeral policy.
âWhen we were going through Sandileâs belongings, we found that he had a funeral policy with Vuyo Funeral Service. After much consideration, we decided to honour his wishes and proceed with Vuyo Funeral Service, as itâs likely what he would have wanted,” Mdududzi said.
“Weâve since met with both funeral service providers to clarify the situation, and everything is now in order.”
Efforts to obtain further comments from GS Funeral Parlour were unsuccessful at the time of publishing.
