Quotes
I’ve learned not to give up in life. If I did take my life, the world wouldn’t have such a big song.
Over the years I used to cry and tell God how unfair he is. Only later I realised why God did things the way he did them.
I am elated that so many people have been unified by this song in the moment of darkness and that it has inspired positivity and joy.
‘I used to cry and tell God how unfair he is’ – Nomcebo Zikode on her mental health, By Sergio Miller
Music has so many different purposes and uses; it is also very instrumental in uplifting people’s spirits in difficult times as it can be very therapeutic. Through my travels, I’ve met fans in countries that I never thought I would see myself in, who have told me how much healing they have gotten from listening to my music, even though I sing in isiZulu, my native language, which they don’t understand. That was also a testament to the fact that music has a healing and spiritual power that we may not fully comprehend, so why not try as much as we can to use it to create a better world
Have set goals, stop at nothing to achieve those goals, and be very disciplined with your life and work. Have faith in your abilities and always give your best in everything you do.
