Taking to her social media pages, King Tha shared an old photo of her smiling mother with background music of her song, Kulungile, with Nduduzo Makhathini:

"The memory continues to fade. They used to say I laughed like her; no one says that anymore. Sometimes, I hardly recognise the face, only that I know this is my mother.
"What a beautiful ancestor. I always shed a tear for those three little girls and that baby boy. They had a hard time, but they are fighting on."

A fan asked the Tiny Desk alumni if there were any songs her mother used to sing to her, and she responded:

"Stimela saseZola was her favourite song, and Revelations which I put in my Zabalaza album. We also sang Pavarotti together; we loved Paradise Road by Joy.
