  • Contd. In the meanwhile I realised whom is she the daughter of. I kept in mind a quiet, calm young women. So different from the dynamic singer I discovered just now !

    Yes, today I suddenly wanted to see whether she made a carreer and looked on Internet. What a shock to learn about her death! And guess that in the following three years she had given birth to three children.

    Great personality. What a voice !

    I keep her in my heart.

  • Thanks for sharing your personal story.

  • Miriam Makeba is my Hero. Very inspring woman. How exactly does a woman keep going after what she went throuhg, where does the energy come from? I look at her and get the energy and spirit to move on despite what i consider my problems whe do not compare in any way to what she went through in life. I'm glad her only daughter left her grandchildren for her legacy. VIVA MAMA AFRICA!

  • did you see the respect whilst passing on the mic to her mum.....BLESS YOUR CHILDREN BONGI AMEN
