Zonke Dikana
Given her very musical background, there was probably no other
career that South African songstress Zonke Dikana could have chosen. Her
first album “Life,love and music” was released in 2007 but it wasn’t
until 2011, when she dropped “Ina ethe” that she gained the recognition
due to her. It scooped her a SAMA for Best African adult album. Her
follow up project, “Give and take”, saw her take home another SAMA for
best live DVD.
