Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Bessa Simons said, "as we all know, we have lost one of our legends who was also a former Vice President of MUSIGA and a founding member of AMWEF."
"He was also very supportive of the work of the union and played a great role in establishing the fund to support ageing and needy musicians. We will miss him greatly," he added.
