Topic: Dr. Mariam Makeba Inaugural Memorial Lecture

 

Music legends Sipho 'Hotstix' Mabuse and Abigail Kubeka have described Miriam Makeba as a strong woman, who paved the way for them and the local music industry at large.

 

The pair was speaking at the first-ever Miriam Makeba Memorial Lecture at the University of South Africa in Pretoria on Sunday.

 

Makeba - dubbed "Mama Africa" and affectionately known as "Mazi", was a renowned musician who played a significant role in the industry during the apartheid era.

 

She died in 2008 at the age of 76.
