JAZZ legend Jonas Gwangwa was laid to rest at Fourways Cemetery in Joburg on Friday 29 January.
The burial took place in the early hours of the morning and was attended by close relatives only.
When the funeral service which was held at the Christ King Anglican Church in Sophiatown began, there was no coffin.
And due to the Covid-19 regulations that only allow 50 people to attend funerals, extra people such as journalists and the police had to stand outside.
