Thandiswa Mazwai expresses excitement as she watched the video clip revealing when the star met the late Miriam Makeba for the first time on The Felicia Show.


Felicia Mabuza-Suttle shared the video on Twitter and Thandiswa was grateful to her for sharing the memorable event.

“I’ve been searching for this moment. This has had me smiling from ear to ear all morning. This was the moment that started it all for me. Look at me, so cute. Look at Mama dancing. Thank you so much, auntie Felicia Mabuza,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, months ago, Mazwai reminisced on meeting the iconic and late Mariam.

“Mama Africa. Often before I step on stages there are names that accompany me (abakhaphi). Hers is one of them. Thank you for your spirit mama, and your life’s work.”

“Tonight we step on to another stage to share music, love and truth with people. This was the great Miriam Makeba and I, during the shoot of a Drum magazine memorial advert where I was shown as the ‘next’ to hold the baton. What an honour that was.”

“I was in her audience so many times and every conversation is etched in my memory for always. May all our ancestors continue to guide us,” she wrote.
