The theme for this Heritage Month is “Celebrating the legacy of Solomon Linda and South Africa’s indigenous music”. 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the passing of Solomon Linda. He composed the 1939 song “Mbube”, a song which South Africans – and the rest of the world – recognise today as “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”.![]()
