We first speak to Gugulethu Dube, an 18-year old aspiring educator from Gauteng province in South Africa. Gugu was born with a condition that is slowly causing her to lose her sight but she has not allowed her condition to stop her from pursuing her dreams. Later we will be joined by South African female bass guitarist, Portia Sibiya, who has worked with various artists including such as the band Stimela, Thandiswa Mazwai, Tshepo Tshola, Lira, Ringo Madlingozi, Zim Nqawana and many others. Portia is from Women in Music, a group of musicians that have come together to celebrate legends in the industry. She’ll talk to us a little bit later about a project they’re working on in honour of musician Joe Nina.
