Members of the iconic Ladysmith Black Mambazo have described the late Albert Mazibuko as a respectful man and a figure to whom they all looked up to.
Sibongiseni Shabalala is among friends and family who are bidding Mazibuko farewell at his funeral service at Estcourt in KwaZulu-Natal.
Baba Mazibuko was a very respectful man. We learnt everything from him. He was dedicated and showed all of us love. He was a very important member of the group and had been with amaMbazo for 55 years.
