And as a precursor to the event, SABC2 is currently running a seven-part documentary, Have you heard from Johannesburg. The documentary is being flighted in the build-up to the ANC centenary celebrations that will be beamed live.
The documentary series is running on the channel until Friday at 7.30pm.
Have you heard from Johannesburg throws light on the global citizens’ movement that took on South Africa’s apartheid regime.
It reveals how every day people in South Africa and their allies around the globe helped challenge and end one of the biggest injustices the world has ever known.
It is an untold story of one of the most fascinating events of the last century. It captures a time full of violence, heroism and struggles, with real-life heroes and real-life villains. It’s a story that travels all over the world, from Africa to Australia, from Sweden to teh US. It’s a story of change. Read the rest of this entry »

Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and an amazing new year!
THANK YOU for being a part of the SGF family for another year; and please do continue your support for the Soweto Gospel Choir and this site into the new year–I have big plans for this site! Be on the lookout! 
Cheers!

In Loving Memory: Fikile Sidumo
It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news that founding member Fikile Sidumo passed away last night due to heart failure.
Fikile has been a mainstay on the Choir since its inception; and her distinct voice was second to none.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Sidumo and Soweto Gospel Choir family. I know it is a difficult time.
Below is a video that featured Fikile from several years back–it beautifully captures her spirit.
Thank you Fikile for sharing your gifts with the world–your voice will not be your only legacy. You will be missed.
