A big salute to Bra Hugh for his courage and resilience MMUSI MAIMANE > By MMUSI MAIMANE - 25 January 2018 - 12:08 Image: Brett Rubin
During our darkest days as a country, Bra Hugh Masekela, through his music, spread a message of hope for a better tomorrow.
Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes and rests the mind, heals the heart and makes it whole; music flows from heaven to the soul.
His passing has left a hole in the heart of our nation. His music had a beautiful way of cutting through the noise, and painting a picture of a future we all deserve, and will be missed by millions in the country.

I was interviewing Tuku about his latest album Hany ga and that changed my mind.
Mtukudzi, who was Masekela s close friend, said his latest work was inspired by what he believed was an unhealthy tendency of African people to compete against each other, instead of working together. I have been seeing a worrying trend of Africans always seeing themselves as better than the next person. The tendency of competing to be the better person has resulted in people not focusing on what they are best in or what their real talent is, he said. What we seem to forget is that God created us to compliment each other so that we can live together in peace and harmony. That is the message I am sending to all Africans with this album, said the legendary Tuku.
