South African legendary performing artist, Steve Kekana, who died on Thursday at the age of 63, touched the chord of Malawians in the 1980s when he visited the country for several music concerts when he composed a hit song ‘I Just Wanna Sing, Ndimafuna Kuimba Nyimbo’ after his concert visit to Malawi in 1985.
Soon after the announcement of his passing on, Malawians posted their tributes of this “blind but very talented iconic musician” as described by musician, Wycliffe Chimwendo.

Chimwendo reminisces that he watched Kekana’s live performance at BAT Ground in Blantyre and from then on he “mimicked his songs so much although I didn’t understand some of the lyrics”.
