She will be starring in her own Final Exam Recital under the supervision of senior lecturer Dr Patricia Opondo

‘The theme Sabela, Memeza, Lalela Abaphansi (Respond, Call out, Listen to the Ancestors) is all about me unpacking myself using this concert and performing arts as a tool to communicate who I am and my relationship with my ancestors,’ said Mchunu.

Mchunu is a versatile musician who plays several indigenous instruments, sings and dances. The recital will feature various artists including her mother Wendy who Mchunu sees as her living spirit guide. Her two sisters will also accompany her. Mchunu will be joined onstage by all-female group Izimbewu Zekusasa and Izintombi Zase-UKZN who are talented maidens while artist Mr Nkosinathi Mdluli will paint a portrait of the entire recital as it unfolds onstage.

Entrance to the recital is free. For more information, contact Ms Zoliswa Mchunu on 065 082 7262 or email Dr Opondo at opondop@ukzn.ac.za
