Farewell Bhodloza. Now who takes up the baton? I am on this long phone call with a friend discussing an upcoming project that will celebrate the journey and milestones of an iconic South African music group. The friend then highlights a concern that the passing on of Dr Welcome “Bhodloza” Nzimande presents is a major blow to the project. My friend went on to argue that Nzimande was one person who could have made a significant contribution to the content of the project. As the pioneer of the promotion of traditional music, Nzimande’s departure means a loss of not only a radio legend, but also the loss of a fountain of knowledge about the history of traditional music in this country, my friend said.
