All I know is that when things don’t make any sense, I deepen my faith in God because I know HE has all the answers. To be in spirit is to be closer to Him and that is a phenomenon. Today we mourn on earth but our brothers and sisters in Heaven are rejoicing and celebrating Dumi’s return. I’m so glad that I had the priveledge of knowing and working with this Multi-talented, blessed, smart and hilarious man of God during his time here but now he takes his place on a new journey and I pray that he travels safely and arrives straight into the hand of the Grace. Sending my love and condolences to Simz and the family. uThixo aninike amandla okuqina nokukwamukela❤️? Later Dumza*??☀️

The last I saw you, we did Gospel Classics Together, singing your heart out for the Lord… a few months ago not speaking after a while you dropped me a text to check in on me… because kindred spirits always check on each other. To be told you are no longer…. I asked God WHY…but had to stop myself from the unanswered. Those deep tour bus conversations we’d get into when you had your corner in the back seat & hardly spoke to many will remain an enlightenment to the soul. You always spoke with the depth of a gifted… a language not many can grasp but for those who know got it. Music was food to your soul & meaningful things were what made the gravitation to you easy. I’d get mad because you’d talk crap to me but you meant well as a spirit guide. Thank you for encouraging me when you know the gifted are the most haunted…. I didn’t fly on that private jet I said I would… but I’m sure from the heavens you will make it a reality as an angel right next to God. Thank you Dumi for coming full circle spirit child….you’re getting angel status bud. Peace God. ?? #RIPDumiMasilela @dmasilela #BeautifulSoul

This hurts so much ? Like you realise that with you gone-we’re an odd number now. Who’s Simphiwe supposed to take care of while I take care of Tshepo? Who are we gonna kick knowledge with and keep fires burning with while we pretend to enjoy high profile events and chicken heads? Ah man, Dumi… ? Thokoza dlozi ????

I am so so so sad right now. Oh no 🙁 The other day I was telling your wife I used to take so many pictures of you and I just found out that you have left us. My heart is beyond shattered.
