Also, anyone interested in house music
Durban-style should check out the still
going strong gqom music scene there.

I was trying to think of who for a while, but I'm drawing a blank. It might be someone I never even knew was South African.

^ Someone who fits this description might be Manfred Mann; born in Johannesburg, but moved to England in his 20s because he didn't like aparthied. Angel Station is a pretty cool album by his Earth Band:-

I'm sorry I don't know how to use forums, I am just desperate to find the name of this song!
It was a popular song that teenagers and kids would aux from their phones and it played on the radio in our taxi often. It is a love song, kinda retro/blues-y, but not in english (maybe afrikaans?). And the music video is a boy and a girl kind of just playing around, very cute. The locals told me it was basically just a love song!
If you have any idea of what this song might be, please help me!!

The album before Work for All, which was called Scatterlings,
was so incredibly overplayed in the States that there was a
palpable hatred for this band (and, later, Savuca) that I think
caused them to fall off the radar soon afterwards and
people I knew who had a scattering of interest in
mbaqanga were glad to see Clegg and Co. gone.
They gravitated more towards Hugh Masekela,
Lizzy Mercier Descloux, and the Mahotella Queens.
