The role of the artist in times of civic change

Known affectionately in the music industry as ‘The One Who Sings,’ Mahola has long used her art and platform to foster national unity and advocate for social good. In her message, she touched on the historic role that artists and storytellers play during times of political transition.

By turning protest sounds into songs of hope and unity, she emphasised that music and storytelling remain essential tools for holding power to account, uniting divided communities, and giving voice to the collective consciousness of the public.

Reclaiming civic strength beyond the ballot box

Addressing her audience as crucial changemakers, Mahola spoke passionately about the necessity of standing firm in one’s values as crucial national elections draw near. She urged citizens not to feel disempowered or disillusioned by complex political structures, but rather to lean into community care, vocal advocacy, and collective action.

Her message serves as an inspiring call to action for South Africans and global viewers alike, reinforcing that real power consistently resides in the hands of the people when they stand united for systemic change.
