Nomfusi

Nomfusi Gotyana, known mononymously as Nomfusi, is a South African singer and performer of Afro-Soul music. She was born in the township of KwaZhakele in the Eastern Cape. Her mother Kwazibani (“Who Knows?” in English) raised her while her father languished in jail for 21 years. A domestic worker by day, Kwazibani was a sangoma (African medicine woman) with a gift for music. Nomfusi accompanied her mother to the weekly sangoma rituals ("Intlombe") where Nomfusi developed her musicality. She is a two-time SAMA nominee, Metro FM Award nominee and performed on multiple local and international tours.
