Leano Khanye, the son of Hip Hop Pantsula, is ready to carry on the family music tradition. At the unveiling of his father’s tombstone, he talked about his plans to go into music and how he wishes his father could be there to see it all.
Jabulani Jabu Tsambo, whose stage name was HHP, died on October 24, 2018, and reports say he killed himself. This past weekend, his tombstone was unveiled at Hero’s Acres, Matlalong in Mahikeng.
Speaking at the unveiling he said, “This is a whole different generation…I wish my dad was here to hear my music because I feel like I’ve improved with my talents and stuff…I was bad. I can’t sing guys…I rap, that’s all I do.
“I want to be there when people come and go. I want to be there with my family. They are always supporting me every step of the way. I want to see everyone grow up and start smiling,” he added.
His wife, a public relations expert named Lerato Sengadi, took to social media to say that his family were bad people because they didn’t invite her or her family to the wedding. She also said that she hadn’t seen Leano in over 4 years and that this was the first time she had seen him on social media like the rest of Tweeps.
“My family and I were not informed about my husband’s unveiling. I had zero say or input on his tombstone or inscription. I was not invited. Like everyone on socials, it was my first time seeing Leano in four years,” she wrote.
“Like I said, their evil and malice knows no boundaries. But Modimo le Motho see this … and they will take action accordingly.”
Lerato remembered HHP on his death anniversary and wrote, ”Angel Of Mine. Time flies yet it also feels like it’s standing still. Every year when this day comes I choose to celebrate ur life & what you are to so many of us. Thank You to every single person who loves & still supports Jabba. His legacy is in OUR hands. Motho wa Motho… you already know what it is! Ka pelo le moya.”
She used to not think she would reach a certain age after his passing. Lerato on her birthday wrote, “Today is my birthday. There was a time I didn’t think I would make it to see another one. In fact I almost didn’t see today.Motho used to always say to me “Sometimes to gain it all you have to lose it all.” Sengadi wrote.
“When God restores, He does not take you back to the way you were before you experienced being broken. God is doper than that. God’s restoration leaves you better than you once were” Sengadi wrote.
