What a lady, pure class. We love you Shadow! Your voice just takes me to a good place, wherever that is. Just hearing you speak my heart sings inside. No matter what you are saying no matter the topic. I wish you all the best in your future life. Please kindly consider writing a book for us so that we can gain from your wisdom. Can you please one day visit Nicky B and do a show with her. I think that show will be out of this world because you have a wealth of knowledge musically. Thanks again for converting me into a Busi Mhlongo fan back in the day. When I was at varsity I use to hear you play her music like there is no tomorrow. I can say many things to you Ms Shadow Thwala but the best I can say is, thank you for being you.
