Sfiso Ncane’s mother, Fikile Ncwane begs for the forgiveness of her estranged makoti, Ayanda Ncwane.
The popular gospel singer and composer died on 5 December 2016, aged 37.
In a recent interview with Zimoja, the gogo said she has not set her eyes on Ayanda after the burial of the gospel musician in 2016.
Fikile wants to do a traditional cleansing ceremony known as Ukumkhuphula to ‘bring home’ the spirit of the gospel musician.
The ceremony of Ukumkhuphula, is practiced mostly by Nguni families who want the spirit of the deceased to be brought back home months or years after the burial. This is normally done after the mourning period has ended.
Speaking to Zimoja, Sifiso’s mother said her heart broke that Ayanda unveiled her late husband’s tombstone without including Sifiso’s family.
The businesswoman trended on social media as she did not invite Sfiso’s other children and his friends.
Sfiso’s mom said she would like her grandchildren to attend the Ukumkhuphula despite being snubbed by Ayanda.
“I don’t know what I did to her but I want her to know that I love her because she is the mother of my grandchildren,” she said.
“I am old ngane yami (my child). I don’t know what I did to her. I am sorry, but God won’t keep me around forever. I would like to see my grandkids because seeing them on social media and TV is not enough,” she added.
“As a woman of God, I hope she finds it in her heart to forgive me for whatever I did to her,” she added.
Fikile Ncwane reflected on the last tume she saw Ayanda while speaking with the publication team.
“I was sitting next to her, then after that, it was time to go to the graveyard. She never greeted me even when I tried to comfort her at the funeral. She just gave me a cold shoulder,” she said.
