Local music group The Soil is looking for a 'feminine voiced' singer who will replace their female vocalist.
Buhle Mda has announced that she will be taking a sabbatical in her quest to "answer to greater beings". She said that she will be away from all the group's performances to focus on her ancestral calling.
“As Africans, at times we have to answer to greater beings than ourselves. Hence I will be taking some time out to concentrate on my own ancestral callings. Strength to me," she said.
"So, from March 2016 I will be absent from all performances with The Soil, but don't be scared, I’m leaving you in these harmonious hands [points to her male band-members].”
The Soil is now looking for a female vocalist to take over Mda’s singing duties during her time off.
