International R&B star Ashanti will on Monday night escort to the United States the body of her cousin, who died in a Randburg car smash caused by an unlicensed drunk 17-year-old.
Quinshae Snead, 20, died on Saturday night just hours before her famous cousin was to perform in front of thousands of fans at her first-ever South African concert.
Ashanti, who is in the country with her parents, her brother and sister, never took to the stage at the Divas Concert, which also featured international artists Lauryn Hill and Regina Belle.
‘It has been very traumatic’
