Gospel singer Sechaba Pali, known for his past controversies, is mourning the loss of his wife, Nompilo, who tragically passed away in a car accident. The incident occurred shortly after the couple attended an event in Welkom, despite Sechaba's initial reluctance to go. Sechaba expressed his desire to spend time with their children on their son's birthday, but Nompilo insisted on attending the event, hoping for some quality time alone as a couple.
After the event, they stayed overnight at a hotel in Welkom and planned to run errands before heading back to Joburg. As they were driving, Nompilo was behind the wheel, and Sechaba was in the passenger seat of their BMW. Sechaba recalls that Nompilo attempted to overtake a taxi but accelerated too much, causing the car to drift and eject her from the vehicle. Sechaba, although injured himself, managed to exit the car and found Nompilo bleeding from her nose and mouth. Sadly, no one came to their aid, with onlookers focusing on capturing videos and pictures instead. An ambulance eventually arrived and transported Nompilo to the hospital, where Sechaba insisted that medical professionals check on her condition.
Sechaba shares that the morning of the accident held ominous signs. Firstly, they encountered difficulties opening the car's boot to retrieve their clothes. Additionally, Sechaba noticed that one of the tires had swelled, indicating damage. Despite these warnings, he disregarded them at the time.
The tragedy struck Sechaba deeply as Bongani Regional Hospital, where Nompilo was taken, reminded him of painful memories. It was the same hospital where his father and sister had previously passed away. Sechaba expressed his frustration at the lack of assistance and support he received, both from the event organizers and others present. He now faces the difficult task of returning home without his wife and explaining this heartbreaking loss to their children. Sechaba acknowledges the financial burdens of transporting Nompilo's body back to Gauteng and organizing a dignified memorial and burial. He describes Nompilo as an amazing singer and talented artist, emphasizing the pain he currently feels and requesting prayers during this distressing time.
In previous interviews, Sechaba had opened up about his struggles with depression and his challenges within the music industry. He tearfully expressed his indebtedness to a previous record label and questioned how his calling had turned into something that brought him destruction. Sechaba contemplated seeking professional help, acknowledging the need for psychological support. Despite the difficulties he has faced, Sechaba remains hopeful, drawing strength from his faith and the belief that God has a plan for him.
This tragic incident adds to Sechaba's personal struggles, as he confronts the loss of his wife while grappling with his career and financial hardships. As the news of his wife's passing spreads, the music industry and fans alike offer their condolences and support to Sechaba during this challenging period.
