The renowned gospel artist proudly labelled as Malawi’s Rebecca Malope was pronounced dead upon arrival at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre.

He added: “Musicians and other good people who live around Qech please you may rush to join me here. Am just with my wife and Grace’s mother here.”
