The late Peter “Mashata” Mabuse was recently laid to rest after the comedian and DJ was shot and killed in Pretoria’s Soshanguve a week ago.
Prior to his burial, which was held on Sunday, the DJ’s friends held a music concert to raise funds for his family as a token of love and support.
The fundraising concert which was organised by a few of Mashata’s friends including his close friend Mashabela Galane managed to raise an amount totaling to R187,300.
The amount was later handed over to the DJ’s mother by his friends.
Sharing the good news with his followers, Mashabela posted a picture of himself and a few friends’ handing over the cheque to Mashata’s family.
He captioned his post, “We did it for my best friend. Rest well, my dear friend Mashata. Thank you to everyone who support the initiative,” Mashabela expressed gratitude.

The post warmed many internet user’s hearts who commented:
“It’s times like this where a definitive character of friendship is defined. He is definitely smiling wherever Mashata is at. You have won a huge heart in me.”
One user was impressed with the event’s organising team’s ability to give feedback, commenting:
“May he rest in peace, thanks to everyone who made this possible and honestly we never get feedback on donations most of the time.”
“Oh Bhuti (my brother) thank you for everything that you’ve done for the family, for mama and for our beloved Mashata, you really held it down for your wonderful friend, may God bless you and everyone involved. May His Soul Rest Peacefully. RESPECT TO YOU,” wrote one user.
