“He has been in and out of the hospital due to this chronic disease, sadly, this lead to congestive heart failure which caused the honorific musician to constantly struggle with breathing,” said Ngcebo Mdima.
“We hereby affirm that late Njabulo ‘Biggie’ Zondi did not die from any Covid-19 related sickness or Kidney Failure. His heart couldn’t circulate or pump the blood (systolic) or fill (diastolic) adequately, which challenged his breathing abilities.
“He was then admitted into the ICU under life support machines, as we were hoping for a positive response from Doctors that he would recover speedily, it was unfortunate that we received the devastating news of [the late Njabulo Biggie Zondi’s passing on the 30th of June 2020 at 19:30PM,” reads a statement released by Charlie Communications.
