I grew up with protests, marches, demonstrations, struggle. But I come from a clan of community workers.

I don't think what I do is influenced by suffering. I come from a talented people who are prolific in music and dance.

I think it is incumbent on all human beings to oppose injustice in every form.

I lived for music since I could think.

When people campaign for positions, they promise people all kinds of things.

I've got to where I am in life not because of something I brought to the world but through something I found - the wealth of African culture.

When I left South Africa in 1960 I was 20 years old. I wanted to try to get an education, and music education was not available for me in South Africa.
