Israel, together with his brother Isaiah Mosehla and two friends — Bongani Matsobane and Jabu Nkabinde formed a dynamic gospel group called G. Effect, before he ventured into a successful solo career in gospel music and ministry.
Gospel stars such as Lebo Sekgobela and Bucy Radebe, as well as radio personality Twasa, joined hundreds of other fans to offer their condolences on various social media platforms.
