Ninety-three-year-old muso Zamile Dyibishe, who is trend­ing on social media, says he won’t rest until he builds his wife, five chil­dren and 10 grand­chil­dren a beau­ti­ful home through his music.

The Amagugu alomh­laba ayotshabalala hit maker has appealed to gov­ern­ment depart­ments and muni­cip­al­it­ies to stop mak­ing excuses about his age.

 

Instead, they must book him for their events to achieve his dream.

Dyibishe, who cel­eb­rated his birth­day on June 8, says through the power of social media his music has spread far and wide and he is now treated like a celebrity wherever he goes.

The Dis­patch caught up with the nona­gen­arian at the pop­u­lar Ebuh­lanti pic­nic spot in East Lon­don on Sat­urday.

Dyibishe, who lives in Mdant­sane, was clearly pop­u­lar, with chil­dren, beach­go­ers and hawkers greet­ing him.
