In a time when artistry was activism, Miriam Makeba stood tall — not just as a singer, but as a symbol. She used her voice to echo the message of the continent, blending rhythm with resistance, beauty with boldness. Mama Africa was not chasing trends — she was torchbearer of truth. She didn’t sing for clout or Grammys; she sang for justice, for freedom, for the motherland. Today, too many new artists trade legacy for likes. crafting vibes without vision, and streaming hits without substance. Fashion, fame, and fleeting relevance have taken the place of purpose. In this episode of Pan African Hot Topics, we honor the legacy of Miriam Makeba and ask the hard question: where are the voices today that dare to uplift, to expose, and to showcase Africa not just as an aesthetic — but as a soulful, conscious, expression and experience.
