Their outcry adds to the sorrow felt by fans and loved ones as they bid farewell to the iconic musician.
A close family friend has criticised the government’s contribution to Moholo’s funeral. 
He says there should have been no question as to whether Moholo’s funeral deserved state recognition, given his contributions to gospel music. 
Vusi Vilakazi believes the government should have honored Moholo with a state funeral without hesitation.
ANC Deputy Secretary-General Nomvula Mokonyane says they will also ask government for answers following reports of inadequate medical care at the hospital Moholo was admitted into.
The family’s alleged delays and lack of resources contributed to his death.
