  "account": "Xitsonga musician Thomas Chauke paid tribute to the late SABC presenter and producer, Mafosi \"Try By Force\" Chauke, also known as Shinyori. The radio personality was widely recognized for his talent and dedication as an artist. He collaborated with various music artists throughout his career. Tragically, Mafosi Chauke lost his life in a collision on the N1 road at Bandelierkop outside Polokwane on the previous Saturday. He was laid to rest at Njhakanjhaka village cemetery near Louis Trichardt.\n\nDr Chauke, the presenter's brother, recalled a conversation that took place between the two of them before Mafosi Chauke's passing. The departed radio personality had once visited Dr Chauke at his home and sought his advice regarding music production. Dr Chauke was surprised by the depth of their friendship, noting that Mafosi Chauke never spoke ill of other artists. Their relationship had ended, but Dr Chauke expressed his shock at the untimely death of a good person.",
