Tsakani "TK" Mhinga (1979 – 27 February 2006) was a SAMA award-winning South African R&B and kwaito artist who went by the stage name of TK. She was a princess of the VaTsonga tribe of the Limpopo Province, South Africa, as well as the niece of veteran South African singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka. Her singing style was sometimes compared to that of Mariah Carey, and her voluptuous looks and charismatic stage presence reminded some of Beyoncé Knowles. She was found dead in a Bryanston, Johannesburg hotel room by hotel staff on 27 February 2006, of what seemed to be either a drug overdose or a drug-induced suicide. ==Early life== Mhinga was the eldest child of Chief Shilungwa and Tebogo Mhinga of the VaTsonga tribe of the Limpopo province, growing up in Soweto, Johannesburg. At age 12 she first sang in public, singing ''Over the Rainbow'', at a talent competition. Though her first name "Tsakani" means "to be happy", the singer's life was often less so. Mhinga's relationships with men seemed to have been disappointing, starting with her father, whom she described as being "more like a visitor to our home" with her mother raising her and her three siblings mostly alone.〔http://allafrica.com/stories/200603060943.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tsakani Mhinga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
