Nice one Herbie!
Herbie Ngiyakuhalalisela – Congratulations and well deserved
… it's about (African) Time too!
Hey,A merited win for an astonishing album with profundity and degree,from a craftsman with far reaching background,family and class [his duty in this industry properly paid].Genuine and authoritative distinguishment and recognition for an irrefutably brilliant talent, and album – that encapsulates and exemplifies Herbie Tsoaeli and all his changed encounters and expressions of love, life – and everything else and in the middle.Well done!
