Naledi Aphiwe

South African vocalist Naledi Aphiwe has released a heartfelt tribute song in honour of the late Afropop sensation Winnie Khumalo.

Known for her vibrant presence and iconic hit ‘Live My Life’, Khumalo died on 7 January at the age of 51 after a brief illness.

Her death marks the end of a journey that began in the 1980s, leaving a legacy in both the music and television industries.

This caption set the tone for a song filled with gratitude and remembrance.

In the lyrics, Aphiwe praises Khumalo for her contributions to the music world, acknowledging that she has done her part and can now rest in peace.

“We’re thankful for the music you gave us. We will never forget you. You will always be in our hearts,” Aphiwe sings.

The song also acts as a personal prayer, with Aphiwe asking for strength and protection from God as she navigates her own struggles.

The emotional response to the song has been overwhelming.

One fan commented: “You’re gifted sisi jealous down, she’s probably listening and smiling down at ya. One word ‘WOW’.”

Since news of Khumalo’s death broke, tributes have poured in from across South Africa, highlighting the profound impact she had on her fans and the entertainment industry.

Her music and roles in popular TV shows have left an indelible mark and she will be remembered as a true icon.
