And so legendary African cultural and civil rights activist, Miriam Makeba, returned to Cape Town last Friday and she was a show-stopper, filling the land with memories and recalls of her extraordinary life of struggles and accomplishments in the arts.
Makeba returned gloriously through Mama Africa The Musical, which opened on Friday, and will run till February 12 at same space. The opening night was phenomenal, with the 40-man cast of superb performers giving their very best in tribute to a woman, who was herself a super show-woman. It was a full house of mixed audiences, and each member had fun re-encountering the truly noble and exemplary life of Mama Africa.
