Today marks the birthday of singer/songwriter and record label boss Zakes Bantwini.
In honour of his special day, his wife Nandi Madida pens a heartfelt message to him.
“Where do I even begin? Happy birthday to a man who has really taught me what it means to be absolutely spiritually aligned with the universe,” she writes.
“I remember you were writing and producing Osama and were on a fast at the time, you kept telling me that you felt so connected to the spiritual world and wanted that to reflect in your new music.”
Nandi shares that their daughter, who was a huge inspiration for Osama, had just received her diagnosis for being autistic at the time.
She adds that she has learned from Zakes that success is “happiness, peace, and contentment and not tangible things.”
Closing off her letter, she says “being spiritually rich is the most rewarding form of wealth for Zakes and that is why she loves him.”
