Mama Africa and the music of Johannesburg

Mini went to the gallows singing
Ndodemnyama we Verwoerd!, a song he had written in 1950 as a warning to the then minister of native affairs, Hendrik Verwoerd. Black South Africans were mobilising, the lyrics in the Xhosa language warned: "Here is the black man, Verwoerd! Watch out."
The year after Mini’s execution, by which time Verwoerd was prime minister, Miriam Makeba revived the song. The 1950s jazz singer christened ‘Mama Africa’ and born in the Prospect township of Johannesburg, was at that time in exile, barred from returning to South Africa because of her anti-apartheid activism, and the song was recorded in New York, appearing on her collaboration with Harry Belafonte

(NYT NEWS SERVICE)
.- Jonas Gwangwa, a preeminent South African trombonist, vocalist and composer who became a leading artistic ambassador for the anti-apartheid resistance, died Sunday. He was 83.
The office of President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the death in a statement, but did not say where he died or what the cause was. Gwangwa had been in poor health for some time.
Calling him a giant of our revolutionary cultural movement, Ramaphosa wrote, Jonas Gwangwa ascends to our great orchestra of musical ancestors, whose creative genius and dedication to the freedom of all South Africans inspired millions in our country and mobilized the international community against the apartheid system.
