making music; a singer who exemplifies and crowns the rich and multi-sourced Southern
African singing tradition. Sibongile's voice is one of the greatest natural instruments
on display anywhere in the world. In 2009, Khumalo was honoured by Rhodes University
in Grahamstown by being awarded a Doctor of Music honoris causa.
