While the spotlight of stages all around the world were trained in her, she shone a light on the joys and struggles of life across the lines of race, class and nationality that were so starkly entrenched in the world and era in which she first emerged as an artistic force. pic.twitter.com/trdGAO8YtV

My most heartfelt condolences go out to the family & loved ones of Mme Dorothy Masuka.

At the most trying times for our nation, Mme Masuka & other legends used music as a tool to communicate & give hope to millions of South Africans.

May her music live on.#RIPDorothyMasuka
