‘THE MAN I AM TODAY’: ICON, RINGO MADLINGOZI TURNS 59
Ringo Madlingozi is now a year away from the big 6-0. From making legendary hits like Nakum Nakum, Sondela, Into Yam, and more; to cementing his mark in politics, he has truly been blessed with an extra ordinary life.

To mark his 59th birthday, earlier this week, he rushed to his Instagram feed and praised his mother for giving birth to him, loving him, and more.“So the other day, after a performance, when I held my mother close to me and told her that I love her forever, she looked at me and told me that she loves me as well. What a beautiful moment that was. I believed it. There is a proof to it that I’m alive,” he penned.

“She kept me alive within her and she kept me alive when I was on my own and breathing on my own. I’m talking about 59yrs ago today. Thank you Mama for my life. Thank you Mama for watching me grow to be the man I am today,” the iconic singer added.THE ICONIC SINGER AT ZAHARA’S MEMORIAL

“For us to be here at the memorial service of this young person. I never thought she would be leaving so soon. She came with so much power and I thought she would be with us for a very long time. Unfortunately, she’s no longer here with us. We spoke about the industry,” the SABC quoted him as saying.
