"Whatever Zonke is doing with the 'Embo' album, genius! Please buy those CDs, vinyls and USBs. This is so important. You will only know once it succeeds why it is so important that artists control and distribute their own work. Please support her."

@sweetboy_ty commented:

"She is a genius. One of the best South African albums of all time, amazing album along with 'Loliwe' by Zahara, 'Skhanda Republic' by K.O and 'Ina Ethe' by Zonke."
