Sincere condolences to the family and friends of the bow late legend Philip Tabane... May his family and those close to him be comforted by the Lord God Almighty. This man (I believe) wrote the #Muvhango sound track. His memory will surely be a blessing. #Malombo #PhillipTabane pic.twitter.com/rd50QWqeNU
