He later branched out on his own as a solo artist, garnering himself several awards including Best Praise Album for Praise and Worship Encounter with Israel Mosehla at the Crown Gospel Music Awards.
The details surrounding the 'Ke Utlwa Lerato' hitmaker's death have yet to be confirmed.
On Monday #RIPIsraelMosehla was trending on Twitter, with users sharing memories and videos of the late performer.
Radio presenter Khanyi Magubane said, "the Gospel Industry will never be the same again".

The Gospel Industry will never be the same again. I will always fondly remember the interviews I did with you many times on SAfm and you were always passionate about your calling and ministry. Thank you for the rich legacy of music you've left us with. 💔💔 #RIPIsraelMosehla pic.twitter.com/xltAySEyUq
