I saw Bongeziwe for the first time
at 88 in Norwood Johannesburg, about two years ago. I can’t remember
what I wore or who else was on stage that night. It must have been someone I
really liked because I remember the electric energy. Two things are clear in my mind though -a certain Mr Mpye, for reasons I only refer to here as ‘moving’ (the insecurities of youth, I could have said 'Hi', sigh). But
nothing could have prepared me for Bongeziwe, it seems he had
walked out of a musical dream. He is delicate yet commands such sway and allure. He is an important musician and I hope
the world hears him.
