Sibongile Mngoma dives straight into the deep end—unpacking the politics of music, the struggle for fair royalties, and the often-overlooked business side of the industry. As the founder of The Ten Sopranos and a fierce advocate for artist empowerment, she brings insight and truth to the table. At 72, the legendary Mandisa Dlanga remains hopeful about her music career, despite her 2022 album not receiving the recognition it deserves. On Sip, Paint & Vent, she opens up about her frustrations and the emotional toll of unacknowledged artistry. Sibongile urges her to think bigger, consider the global audience she once served, and even proposes a bold revival—collaborating with host Zoy on a concept like Sip & Sing. It’s an honest, powerful exchange steeped in wisdom, sisterhood, and the spirit of reinvention.
