Revered trombonist Jonas Gwangwa could not attend his honorary event and birthday celebration on Saturday at Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg, due to ill-health.
The trumpeter, who turned 82 on October 12, and his family could not be part of the event as he was admitted to a hospital for treatment, according to the event organiser China Mpololo. Gwangwa’s special evening was attended by members of the music industry and comprised performances by young and old musicians celebrating him as well as speakers.
Mpololo said: “For us, it would have been nicer if Bra Jonas or family was there but we did understand that he has not been well. When I received a message in the afternoon about him being admitted [to hospital] I hoped that we will have his son Mojalefa joining us.
