Maskandi star Khuzani Mpungose has made an emotional appeal to the creative industry to come together and help complete the unfinished home of late musician Scebi “Inkos’yamagcokama” Dlamini.
Khuzani’s call comes as the Maskandi community continues to mourn the sudden death of Scebi, whose passing has left fans, fellow musicians and the wider entertainment industry devastated. The appeal is being viewed as a way of turning grief into a meaningful act of support for the late artist’s family.
According to a report by Daily Sun, Khuzani challenged those who loved and supported Scebi during his lifetime to demonstrate that love by contributing towards the completion of his unfinished house.
The unfinished property has become an emotional reminder of Scebi’s life and the plans he had for his family. Khuzani’s proposal could therefore see members of the entertainment industry, musicians, fans and other supporters joining forces to ensure that the project is completed.
Scebi, who was widely known by his stage name Inkos’yamagcokama, was killed in a serious car accident in Richards Bay on Sunday. His crew member, Gumu Mchunu, also died in the crash, while two other people were injured and taken to hospital.
His death sent shockwaves through the Maskandi fraternity, with tributes pouring in from across South Africa. The artist was recognised for his contribution to the genre and had built a strong following through his music and performances.
Khuzani was among those who publicly expressed their grief following the tragedy. He previously described Scebi’s death as a major loss not only for Maskandi but also for the broader music industry. He also revealed that he had visited the accident scene and witnessed the devastating aftermath.

The latest appeal places renewed focus on the importance of supporting artists and their families beyond performances and public celebrations. For Khuzani, completing Scebi’s home could become a lasting tribute to a musician whose career touched many people.
The proposal also comes at a significant moment for Scebi’s family, as preparations continue for his final journey. He is expected to be laid to rest at his home in uMsinga, where family, friends, fellow musicians and supporters will gather to pay their respects.
Khuzani’s challenge is likely to spark conversations within the creative industry about collective responsibility and solidarity. Artists often depend on one another for support during difficult moments, and the completion of Scebi’s house could serve as a powerful example of the industry coming together for one of its own.
For Scebi’s supporters, helping complete the property would mean more than finishing a building. It would represent a tribute to his legacy, a gesture of compassion towards his loved ones and a tangible reminder of the impact he made during his life.
As the Maskandi community prepares to say goodbye to Inkos’yamagcokama, attention will now also turn to whether Khuzani’s call inspires musicians, industry figures and fans to unite behind the project and help bring Scebi’s unfinished dream to completion.
