Entertainer Joe Mafela’s family spent hundreds of thousands on this over the top tombstone for the late relative.  reThe granite edifice represents the Mafela sitting room. A digital tribute plays on the TV. Seriously.

 

The family also refused to speak on the cost of the stone and said that they preferred to focus on Joe’s legacy.

“It wasn’t about the money, it was about giving Joe a fitting farewell and paying proper tribute to him,” said Mafela family spokesperson Millicent “Milly” Mulelu.
