Funeral artist, Lebani Sirenje is in the line of fire once again after images of his painting of the recently deceased Linda ProKid Mkhize made the rounds on social media.
ProKid’s memorial service is currently underway at Bassline in Newtown and Sirenje was on site, as he has been in the past to immortalize the rapper in a painting.
Sirenje has previously made artworks for the likes of Mam’ Winnie Mandela, Akhumzi Jezile, Joe Mafela, Dumi Masilela and more.
The painter, also known as Ras, knows about the criticism and even had to fix his Winnie Mandela painting after her funeral service due to the immense criticism it got.
