Mama Africa, Miriam Makeba returned home for the last time. She died in Italy as she left stage at age 76. She was the voice of the movement and suffered 30 years of exile. She had the voice of a nightingale, she was stripped of her citizenship in 1960 for speaking out against apartheid and was refused the right to attend her mother's funeral. In all her sacrifice and suffering her song remained strong. Mama Click Song we will miss you. Sing with the angels.
