South African Singer Johnny Clegg's Tour - a Poignant Farewell

The popular singer was never going to bow out quietly. Despite battling cancer, he felt he owed his fans a proper farewell. The Final Journey traverses his life and career from the early '70s. We get to know him better than we ever have, including the tidbit that he was a Joburg boy who found his way to Zulu culture via his forays into hostels on the edge of Soweto, writes Tony Jackman of the Daily Maverick.
