Busta 929 Remembers Mpura: A Throwback To Joyful Times

• Busta 929 shared a heartfelt throwback video filmed by his late friend Mpura, capturing their vibrant moments together.
• As Mpura celebrated what would have been his heavenly birthday this week, Busta took a moment to honor the legendary Impilo Yase Sandton hitmaker.
• Amapiano fans were reminded of Mpura’s incredible talent and infectious energy. His presence in every video lights up the room, making everyone around him smile.

Music producer Busta 929 was more than just a colleague to Mongezi Thomas Stuurman, better known as Mpura. They were close friends who shared countless memories before Mpura’s untimely passing. This week, Busta paid tribute to his dear friend on his heavenly birthday, offering fans a glimpse into their bond through a nostalgic video.

A Nostalgic Tribute: The Throwback Video

On Instagram, Busta 929 posted a throwback video featuring himself and Mpura, the man behind the iconic Umsebenzi Wethu collaboration. In the clip, Mpura is seen in his usual playful demeanor, cracking jokes and engaging in lighthearted banter with Busta. It’s a vivid reminder of Mpura’s charisma and the joy he brought to everyone around him.

Busta captioned the video with a heartfelt message, wishing Mpura a "Happy Heavenly Birthday" and affectionately calling him "Dlonti Ntwana Yam." These words carry so much weight, as Mpura tragically left us in August 2021 alongside friends Killer Kau (Sakhile Hlatshwayo), up-and-coming hip-hop artist Thando Tot, and others. His loss left an indelible mark on the music industry and the hearts of those who knew him.
