Vinolia Mashego — better known as V Mash — will forever be remembered for the part she played in making Jam Alley the beacon of our childhood memories.
Mashego family shocked by Vinolia’s death
The family of the revered presenter and actress confirmed in a statement released on Monday that the 56-year-old is no longer with us.
Her sister, Prelley Seale was quoted in a recent Sowetan Live article stating in shock that the Mashego family was still coming to terms with the death.
“It’s true. We got the news this morning. We are still shocked and we don’t know what happened to her,” Seale said.
What’s the cause of death?
Details around V Mash’s death are still very much unclear. At this point, all that has been revealed is that the 56-year-old was found dead in her home in Mamelodi, Pretoria.
Police officials have yet to issue a statement on the status of the inquest into Masheg’s death. Therefore, at this time, we do not know how she came to her untimely passing.
By the time this article was published, the Tshwane police and Seale had not responded to our queries.
