Madiba climbs up music ladder

Producer, Thomas 'Tafula' Madiba has always remained in the shadows while his artists turned into stars. From 2000 when his first production Isiponono for Thabile Mazolwana turned to gold within weeks of release, his own music career was at a standstill.

His most recent work is his fourth offering.  The album, Marikana, is a dedication to the victims of the indiscriminate shooting that occurred in Marikana, South Africa. 

That day 39 lives including those of four police officers were claimed. Clearly Madiba does better behind the desk in the producer’s booth than in the music frontline.
