Artist Rasta paid tribute to the late Mampintsha with a portrait that was completed at the Big Nuz member’s funeral.
The Zimbabwean-born painter is known for his celebrity portraits, and has painted the likes of the late Queen Elizabeth II, as well as Riky Rick.
Rasta, whose real name is Lebani Sirenje shared the portrait of Mampintsha with his followers on social media.
While some liked the artist’s tribute, others felt there was no resemblance to Mampintsha.
