On December 10, 2022, Tshala Muana died in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, at 64.
Her partner, Claude Mashala, confirmed the sad news in a Facebook post. However, he did not mention the cause of her death.
“In the early hours of this morning, the good Lord decided to take over the national Mamu Tshala Muana. May the good God be glorified for all the good times she has given us on this earth. Farewell Mamu from m,” he wrote.
Muana had been in a Kinshasa hospital for a week. She had reportedly succumbed to respiratory complications.
On Saturday, the country’s largest news site, 7sur7, noted that the music artist’s body was taken to the Cinquantenaire Hospital morgue.
In June 2020, there were rumors that Muana had died when she was hospitalized after suffering a stroke. But the news was false.
However, we were not lucky this time. Born on May 13, 1958, Muana was 64 at death.
Tshala Muana Family And Husband: Who Is She Survived By?
Tshala Muana was never married. However, she was in a relationship with her producer and companion, Claude Mashala.
Tshala Muana was born Élisabeth Tshala Muana Muidikay in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Her hometown was then part of the Belgian Congo.
Her Father, Amadeus Muidikayi, was a soldier, whereas her mother, Alphonsine Bambiwa Tumba, was a homemaker.
Muana came from a big family and was the second of ten children.
Unfortunately, the Ulelist maquis murdered her Father in Watsha during the Congo crisis. She was six at the time.
Her mother singlehandedly raised her and her siblings but passed away in 2005.
