Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

South African poet and singer, Ashleigh Davids, is an artist on a mission and she is not afraid to tackle tough social issues. A song she sang to raise funds for Ebola victims, Help Africa Fight, done in collaboration with Malawian music collective Nyali Muzik, was recognised by the Kora Music Awards. Recently the 23-year-old met with Âé¶¹Éç Africa's Bola Mosuro and started by reciting a poem about the role of women in society. (Photo: eL Jay Photography)
