By Thys Khiba – South African Kwaito legend Bonginkosi “Zola 7” Dlamini will be performing on April 8 at the Ngwathe Easter Experience at Mimosa Gardens in Parys, Free State.
His performance in Parys comes after he received praises from television personality and Metro FM Thabo ‘Tbo Touch‘ Molefe for making his comeback after a long break.
“We serve a God of second, third, fourth chances, we can never reflect on the evolution of urban culture and not mention Zola’s name.
“Many thought he would never walk, sing and perform ever again but sometimes life has a way of reminding us that God is on the throne!!!” said Tbo Touch.
Kwaito legend spent years without performing due to his ill-health and other setbacks.
