Ladysmith Black Mambazo is a South African male choral group that sings in the vocal styles of isicathamiya and mbube. They rose to worldwide prominence as a result of singing with Paul Simon on his 1986 album Graceland, and have won multiple awards, including four Grammy Awards. They were formed by Joseph Shabalala in 1960 and later became one of South Africa's most prolific recording artists, with their releases receiving gold and platinum disc honors. The group has now become a mobile academy, teaching people about South Africa and its culture.
Joseph Shabalala formed Ladysmith Black Mambazo because of a series of dreams he had in 1964, in which he heard certain isicathamiya harmonies (isicathamiya being the traditional music of the Zulu people). Following their local success at wedding ceremonies and other gatherings, Shabalala entered them into isicathamiya competitions. The group was described as 'so good' that they were eventually forbidden to enter the competitions, but welcomed to entertain at them. Although they had been recognised as an isicathamiya group in 1964, they had been singing together since the early 1950s. They released their first album, Amabutho, in 1973. The album, along with many other releases by the group, received gold disc certification. Ladysmith Black Mambazo's collaboration with Paul Simon in 1986 paved the way for international releases.
The Tugela River (Zulu: Thukela; Afrikaans: Tugelarivier) is the largest river in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. It is one of the most important rivers of the country.
The river originates in Mont-aux-Sources of the Drakensberg Mountains and plunges 947 metres down the Tugela Falls. The Mont-aux-Sources is also the origin of tributaries of two other major South African rivers, the Orange and the Vaal. From the Drakensberg range, the Tugela follows a 502 kilometres (312 mi) route through the KwaZulu-Natal midlands before flowing into the Indian Ocean. The total catchment area is approximately 29,100 square kilometres (11,200 sq mi). Land uses in the catchment are mainly rural subsistence farming and commercial forestry.
The Tugela has a number of tributaries coming off the Drakensberg, the largest being the Mzinyathi ("Buffalo") River (rising near Majuba Hill), but also the Little Tugela River, Klip River (rising near Van Reenen Pass), Mooi River, Blood River, Sundays River (rising in the Biggarsberg) Ingagani River and Bushman River. The Buffalo River joins the Tugela some 19 kilometres (12 mi) east of Tugela Ferry at 28°43′04″S 30°38′41″E / 28.71778°S 30.64472°E / -28.71778; 30.64472.

HOMELESS – (WITH LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO) Released 1986 by Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. HOMELESS was the first of many hits for Ladysmith as it launched their careers within the international market. The song was on Paul Simon’s collaborative, politically controversial yet his most successful album Graceland. HOMELESS like any other Ladysmith Black Mambazo songs before and after the Graceland album expressed depth and meaning about the harsh reality of migrant labor, poverty, heavy hearts, family separation, politics, cultural heritage, and broken dreams however homeless is a tale of so much more. The song also speaks about winning: “Yitho omanqoba (ih hih ih hih ih), Yitho omanqoba esanqoba lonke ilizwi (ih hih ih hih ih), Yitho omanqoba (ih hih ih hih ih) esanqoba phakathi e...

Tugela Ferry high school pupils will be starting another year of tough travels to school. They undertake a five kilometre journey daily, most of which passes through a river. They swim across the river resulting in them spending their mornings learning in class wearing soaked clothes. The principal says he's asked the municipality several times in writing to erect a bridge but, to date, nothing has happened. At least two children were presumed drowned over the past few years.

This journey's been with River Black by my side.
He ain't sparkling and his humour makes you cry.
But he's been good to me; a routine refugee,
he's been my shelter when the vultures were too
greedy...
And I love to sleep with River Black,
year, I love, love, love, love, love to sleep with River
Black
He always senses it when I'm lonely.
He always breathes me a new song.
He always heals me when I'm phony.
My River Black, he knows where I belong.
While others travel with Ra or with the wind,
Mercury, Venus, Sex or God or even nothing.
I stick to Black. It covers almost everything:
Black holes, black seas.
The gift of blackness comforts me...
