Growing up in the village of
Sabhoza near Ulundi and the
city of Durban of the 1950s and
1960s, Thembi Mtshali
Jones listened to her beloved
gogo’s stories and marvelled at
the voices emerging from her
father’s gramophone, but she
could never imagine that, one
day, her own voice would be
enthralling audiences across
the globe. Or that she would
become so famous that Nelson
Mandela would thank her
personally for entertaining him
in prison where he watched
her perform on TV as Thoko in
the sitcom Sgudi Snaysi .
