While many close family members and some community members refused to accept her gender preference, Singer Sandy has found healing through music.

Real name Sandy Shezi from Zwelisha in Adams Mission outside Durban in KwaZulu Natal (KZN), Afro Soul Singer Sandy is a proud lesbian who has seen it all in life.

“Growing up in a disadvantage background and at the same time discovering ypurself that you are part of a lesbian community is a hard thing for anyone. The people who are supposed to be your support structure become enemy number one, they look down on you just because you are openly gay. I’m unapologetic about being a lesbiamln, it is who I am and I so wish people can start treating like normal human beings,” she said.

Sandy said that while she may be facing challenges from where she comes from, she decided to use music to address the problem and at the same time healing.

She recently released a single titled Ngiyazifela.

“When I’m in studio singing, everything goes away. The pain and suffering becomes the thing of the past because everything just goes away. “Ngiyazifela” which translates from isiZulu to mean, ‘I love you immensely’, is more than just a love song. It is a moving tribute to a rare connection between two souls, a love so pure that even in the coldest moments, it brings warmth to the heart. It brings joy and happiness, it brings out the sense of belonging.

“Ngiyazifela speakes to couples who have found their forever in each other, the track emphasises the unwavering love, the kind that stands strong through all seasons is the most precious treasure in the universe. ‘Ngiyazifela’ is a reminder that love is not just spoken it is felt, protected and cherished,” she said.

Sandy said that she want to inspire people to love irregardless.

Global Star, Local Heart: Grammy Winner Reflects on the Power of Being Recognised at Home

Hlakaniphile Magadlela — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 15:03:25 +0000

Three time Grammy Award winning artist Wouter Kellerman stepped away from the noise of the red carpet with a smile that carried both pride and gratitude. Moments earlier he had been honoured once again, this time on African soil, and the significance of it was written across his face.

The celebrated flautist described the moment as both exciting and deeply affirming. He explained that creating music is often a solitary process and artists rarely know how their work will land with the world. Being recognised, especially by audiences at home, felt meaningful in a way that global acclaim cannot quite match.

“Africa and South Africa hold a special place in my heart,” he said. “It means so much to be valued at home. This kind of recognition is what matters most to me.”

His voice softened as he spoke about the inspiration that drives his artistry. Music, he explained, is something that comes from within and carries an instinctive desire to spread beauty and positive energy. Awards and commercial success may come and go, but he insists that he would continue making music even without them. The creative process is personal. It is the place where he finds purpose.

He shared that, despite his many achievements, he still feels as though he is only at the beginning of his journey. Ideas continue to flow and plans continue to grow. There is always another song waiting to be born and another moment waiting to be shared with audiences around the world.

When asked what comes next, he responded with the simplicity of someone who understands the rhythm of his calling. The next step, he said, is the next song.

Kellerman revealed that he is currently working on new collaborations and is fitting studio time into a demanding travel and performance schedule. He described the upcoming projects as exciting and filled with potential, signalling that fans may soon hear fresh sounds shaped by creative partnerships he is eager to explore.

As he prepared to move on to greet more well wishers, he offered one more smile and a warm thank you. The acknowledgment from home clearly meant something profound. It was a reminder that even artists who travel the world still carry the heartbeat of the continent wherever they go.
