[@stuartbowden4735]

It's fantastic! I was lucky enough to meet the lady, some years ago. She was so beautiful in so many ways.

[@sicelokhopho7782]

Her performance wasn't about lyrics BUT a message that someone from A DISTANCE may look like your friend whereas he's an enemy. Great performance my late SISTER may your BEAUTIFUL SOUL REST IN PEACE you've TRIED your hardest, You've won the RACE.
