## Resource

A living legend of South African music walks into the WAW studio. Ringo Madlingozi — the voice behind "Sondela," "Vukani" and a catalogue that's soundtracked weddings, funerals, road trips and first loves for over three decades — joins DJ Fresh for a conversation that moves between music, politics, faith and the long road of staying true to your craft. From his journey out of Mdantsane to becoming one of the most beloved Afro-soul voices on the continent, to swapping the stage for the benches of Parliament as an MP, Ringo opens up about the life behind the songs. Expect stories, laughter, a little wisdom, and the kind of honesty only a man who's lived it can give. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.
