\nIt was revealed at a memorial service on Sunday that music legend Hugh Masekela found love in the arms of a woman he was \u201cdevoted\u201d to.
\nFriends, family and fans of the late icon gathered at the University of Johannesburg\u2019s Soweto Campus to celebrate Bra Hugh\u2019s life.
\nBra Hugh\u2019s sister, Barbara Masekela revealed during her speech that he was showered with so much love in his final days. She then introduced Nomsa Manaka to hundreds of mourners at the venue by asking her to stand up.
\n\u201cIn his final days he met another beautiful woman and he was devoted to her, and she was devoted to him to the end,\u201d she said.
\nBarbara also shared how Bra Hugh did not give up on getting better and fought bravely till the end.
\n\u201cMy brother fought very bravely and with so much courage. He never admitted the thought that he was going to die, for him he was going to get better and he was going to live forever,\u201d she added.
\nBarbara recounted how Bra Hugh forbid them from crying or being sad in front of him, telling them that he did not want to see \u201cany long faces\u201d.
\n\u201cFor the past year my brother had been training us to be strong. He told us he did not want anyone to come here with tears and long faces. It was breaking his heart that he was leaving us and that he was leaving this world,\u201d she said.
\nThe final public memorial was attended by the likes of Caiphus Semenya, Abigail Kubeka, Sipho \u2018Hotstix\u2019 Mabuse and Felicia Mabuza-Suttle.
\nBra Hugh died at his Johannesburg home last Tuesday surrounded by loved ones, after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer. The music icon will be given a private funeral service.<\/p>\n
