Thandiswa extends thanks to Auntie Felicia for posting a video of Legendary Songwriter Mariam Makeba
South African show hostess Felicia Mabuza-Suttle took to Twitter to share a captivating video of Late Mariam Makeba’s first appearance on The Felicia Show.
Consequently, Mzansi musician Thandiswa expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Felicia for sharing the unforgettable moment.
“I’ve been searching for this moment. This has had me smiling from ear to ear all morning. This was the moment that started it all for me. Look at me, so cute. Look at Mama dancing. Thank you so much, Auntie Felicia Mabuza,” she penned.
In the past months, Mazwai fondly recollected her encounter with the legendary and late Mariam.
“Mama Africa. Often before I step on stages there are names that accompany me (abakhaphi). Hers is one of them. Thank you for your spirit mama, and your life’s work.”
“Tonight we step onto another stage to share music, love, and truth with people. This was the great Miriam Makeba and I, during the shoot of a Drum magazine memorial advert where I was shown as the ‘next’ to hold the baton. What an honor that was.”
“I was in her audience so many times and every conversation is etched in my memory for always. May all our ancestors continue to guide us,” she eloquently expressed.
