South Africans took to social media to celebrate the life of the father of South African jazz, Hugh Masekela, on what would have been his 80th birthday on 4 April.
Even Google remembered the multi-talented musician with a doodle on the search engine that can be seen in South Africa, United States, United Kingdom, and a few other countries.
Masekela succumbed to prostate cancer on 23 January 2018 after being diagnosed in 2017. He left behind two children and a musical legacy he started cultivating at the age of 14.
I wanna be there when the people start to turn it around
When they triumph over poverty
I wanna be there when the people win the battle against AIDS
I wanna lend a hand
Send me #thumamina
