'Africa Has Great Future': South African Soprano
Africa's progress has been slowed by historical challenges including colonialism, slavery, and apartheid, Pumeza Matshikiza, South African soprano, told Sputnik Africa.
"But I totally believe in my people, the African people, in their resilience. I believe in their intelligence. I believe in their way of being," she stated.
Matshikiza highlighted South Africa's exceptional output of internationally successful opera singers compared to other African nations.
There is a need for more locally composed operas to bring these voices back home, along with government investment in the arts to recognize the value of storytelling through theater, she added.
