Mtshali-Jones will be highlighting music from women who have inspired her from her life, from her village, to the first moment she listened to the radio, and even the likes of Miriam Makeba.

“In the village where I grew up [Buthelezi]… where Princess Magogo (daughter of Zulu King, Dinuzulu kaCetshwayo) was born… I used to listen to her singing. She was absolutely amazing.”
