Mhlongo took it to Instagram to give a vote of thanks to the young man and said that he also paid him for his wonderful job.
It was not immediately clear how much Somizi paid the Capetown based artist. Mary Twala succumbed to diabetes in Johannesburg at the age of 80 and was laid to rest in Soweto.
