Khumalo’s funeral service was held at the historic Market Theatre in Newtown, an arts and culture precinct where the deceased songbird spent the heydays of her decorated career performing on stage alongside peers in the entertainment industry.
Cllr Geoff Makhubo says Khumalo’s music, which transcends almost three decades, will continue to heal the nation and immortalise her in the history books.

Mourners gathered on Saturday at the Market Theatre to bid farewell to opera and jazz legend Sibongile Khumalo.
The music icon died last Thursday from complications from a stroke after a long illness, her family said.
Speaking at her funeral, her brother Lindumuzi Mngoma, said those who interacted with her through her journey of life were touched in one way or another by Khumalo.
"We are under lockdown hence a lot of people could not be here. The family plans to have a commemoration for her in September which is her birthday month. The family will give further details closer to the time," he said.

Sibongile Khumalo, the transformative singer who built an archive of South African classics

South African singer Sibongile Khumalo (1957-2021) was born into a dynasty of musicians. Her grandfather was a maskandi artist. This is a popular form derived from indigenous Zulu music created by migrant labourers, mostly accompanied by an acoustic guitar. Her father, Khabi Mngoma, was a classical musician, a community builder in Soweto and, ultimately, a music professor at the University of Zululand.
Undoubtedly, it was her mother, Grace Mngoma, who bestowed her with her warm mezzo-soprano/alto voice. In numeroussources, including writer and activist Es’kia Mpahlele’s memoir
Down Second Avenue, Grace is mentioned as an alto soloist in productions of Handel’s
