 Born [[Zenzile Miriam Makeba]] (aka "Zenzi") 4 March 1932 in Prospect Township, Johannesburg, the daughter of Christina and Caswell Makebashe. She grew up in  in Nelspruit in the then Eastern Transvaal till she was 5 years old, when her father died. They then moved to Pretoria, where she sang in church and school choirs in the 1940'S. When she was 16  Makeba left school and got a job as a domestic worker in Johannesburg.
-There she got her first real break and began to build her reputation in the music industry by singing for groups like the all-male South African close-harmony vocal group '''The Cuban Brothers''' (c 1950s)[https://www.facebook.com/61576050696957/posts/the-cuban-brothers-a-south-african-close-harmony-group-c-1950s-source-drum-archi/122178445676868356/], the famous [[The Manhattan Brothers]] and all-female all-woman South African vocal group and jazz ensemble '''The Skylarks''' (originally known as '''The Sunbeams''') founded by Makeba.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Skylarks_(South_African_vocal_group)]

 In 1959 Makeba appeared as a singer in the anti-apartheid documentary ''[[Come Back, Africa]]'', which placed the [[Apartheid]] government under the international spotlight. As consequence she was subjected to harassment by the ruling party eventually leading to her passport being revoked and withdrawn while she was outside the country and causing her to stay in exile in London. When her mother died in 1960 she could therefore not return to her funeral.
