The Government extends its heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and fans of Siphiwe Sibisi, affectionately known as ‘General GTZ,’ who passed away on Sunday (29 September 2024) after battling with cancer. 

Sibisi was a beloved member of the iconic kwaito group Chiskop, formed in 1998 alongside Mduduzi Tshabalala (Mandoza), Sizwe Motaung (Lollipop) and Sibusiso Thanjekwayo (SB Bless). The group played a pivotal role in shaping South Africa’s music, culture, and entertainment industry through their dynamic contribution to the kwaito genre. Chiskop’s music and influence became a cultural force, resonating with millions and leaving a lasting legacy that transcended generations.
