Bio
Matodzi Irene Mawela is a renowned South African singer and composer. She grew up in Soweto and began her music career in the late 1950s as a member of the girl group, The Sweet Voices. Mawela signed a contract with Rupert Bopape, a producer for EMI South Africa, and went on to record for the Dark City Sisters and The Sweet Sixteens. Her music is a powerful tool for expressing the experiences of black South Africans during apartheid rule.
