In exclusive video footage obtained by TMG Entertainment legendary jazz musician Hugh Masekela can be seen playing the trumpet at a restaurant. Besides the epic moment that was captured, the story behind the trumpet will most certainly be enough to give your heart a little squeeze.

TMG Entertainment has learnt that Tokyo Sexwale bought the trumpet after former President Nelson Mandela finished his term in office.

It was a celebratory gift and was meant to be played.

It never was.

So when Tokyo, Bra Hugh and Tbo Touch were at a meeting last night, Tokyo presented Bra Hugh with the trumpet.

  • Wayde van Niekerk surprised with R1.8 million AudiOlympic gold medalist Wayde van Niekerk was surprised with a brand new Audi R8 by Audi South Africa on Wednesday at OR Tambo International Airport.  

It was then that the struggle stalwart relayed stories of himself being in prison and how he remembered that at Pretoria Central Prison, prisoners went through the 'door of no return' before being executed.

Bra Hugh started oiling the trumpet and decided to play it there and then to a small crowd of fans at the Codfather restaurant in Joburg, it was bliss.#Jealous
