SIPHO,OR SHOULD I SAY`BRA SIPHO!BUT BRA IS A TSOTSI TAAL SO I WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE A TSOTSI IF I IDENTIFY WITH THEIR TAAL.

NEVERTHELESS I KNOW YOU DETEST ME FOR MY UNUSUAL VIEWS HOWEVER THAT WILL NOT STOP ME FROM HONOURING YOU LET ALONE YOUR NEGATIVES.I HAIL THOSE WHO HAVE DECIDED TO BESTOW AN HONOUR TO YOU SINCE IT WAS LONG OVERDUE.YOU ARE A REAL SON OF THE SOIL.I`M SAYING THIS SINCE ALL YOUR PAST SONGS HAD SOMETHING IN THEM ABOUT THE CONTINENT AND NOT ABOUT EUROPE OR THE WEST.

I STILL REMEMBER AN INTERVIEW WHERE YOU SAID YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO PW BOTHA AND I THOUGHT THE SPECIAL BRANCH WOULD BE ALL OVER YOU SINCE IT WAS UNDESIRABLE TO MAKE THAT KIND OF STATEMENTS THEN.

THANK YOU FOR UNITING OR ATTEMPTING TO UNITE BLACK AND WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS BY ASSISTING ALL WHO COME TO YOU TO ASK FOR ASSITANCE I KNOW OF A HANDFUL OF WHITE YOUTHS IN CAPETOWN IN THE EIGHTIES WHOM YOU ASSISTED FINANCIALLY TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION.

YOU ARE A VERY PRINCIPLED,PHILOSOPHICAL AND WITH A TINGE OF CONSCIENCE SOMEBODY AND I TEND TO BELIEVE IT IS THESE VALUES THAT RESULTED INTO YOU STICKING “IT OUT IN SOWETO”.

BUT I WISH TO HONOUR ALL THOSE MUSICIANS OF YOUR TIME WHO THROUGH ROUGH CONDITIONS SHINED AND PUT THE BLACK MAN ON THE INTERNATIONAL MAP AND I STILL PLAY THEIR MUSIC EVEN NOW NOT THIS KWAITO OR HIP-HOP RUBBISH THAT THESE YOUNGSTERS ARE BRINGING-UP TO RAKE QUICK CASH.YOU GUYS WERE MY HEROES AND YOU STILL ARE AND I HOPE ONE DAY YOU WILL GATHER TOGETHER AND GIVE THE LAST BIG ONELIKE “WE ARE THE WORLD WHERE VARIOUS TOP ARTISTS CAME TOGETHER WITH THEIR SKILLS AND PUT IT TOGETHER.SO LONG,BROER!

Hi Lesley

It was a pleasure hearing Sipho again, I have listened occasionally on radio if lucky enough to be on at that moment when he was on the air.

Sipho rescued as it were, a young white male from the darkness of racism and bigotry by treating me as an equal among brothers in 1979. I was priveleged to have been the band’s (Harari Music Concept) driver for a memorable tour in the Eastern-Cape and then Transkei and Ciskei in August 1979. It gave me an opportunity to see my fellow africans at home, at work and at play, dispelling many of the entrenched opinions and falsehoods pressed upon white youth at the time. I have deep respect for this man, not only for his music but for his unbiased humanity in the face of decades of adversity. He has worked in his unique way to foster the reconciliation of our many cultures through a mutual love of music and the global messages it carries to all. Give him my love. Rob

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
