Sindi Dlathu pays tribute to the legendary Cynthia Shange via Instagram:
“Grace, love, and gentleness… this is how I will always remember you, Ma.
You carried such depth and intelligence, a sharp wit, and a remarkable sense of humour. Our conversations flowed so effortlessly, each one meaningful and enriching. Those are moments I will forever cherish.
You were always warm and brought light into every space you entered. Your presence was both grounding and uplifting.
I could write a book about you, but I will leave it here.
You wore your crown with grace, Ndlovukazi, in every sense of the word.
Lala kahle, Ma.”
