The family still needs to release the precise time and location. However, on Sunday, Bosman will be laid to rest. According to Titi Luzipo, a family spokesperson, Bosman was a fierce advocate against gender-based violence and for training up-and-coming artists.

"We have lost a pioneer, a global icon, and a person who supported the eradication of femicide, in that order. Someone who helped women and young children has left us. She played a significant role in ensuring good music, education in schools, and teaching people how to be themselves in the creative industry, continues Luzipo.

According to Sports, Arts, and Culture Minister Zizi Kodwa, Bosman's passing is a loss for the nation. On Wednesday, Kodwa visited the Pimville, Soweto, home of the Bosman family.

Indeed, the music industry, not just jazz and soul music, has suffered a sad loss. The entertainment industry has lost a lot of talent over the past few days and weeks. That voice, which constantly improved the populace's mood, will be missed.
