All of the cultural and musical influences in my music are revealed as well playing all the favourite hit songs that consolidated my career as a singer/songwriter. The show is also peppered with stories and anecdotes describing events and incidents which shaped the content and direction of the music. " http://www.johnnyclegg.com/durban.html

http://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/johnny-clegg/default.aspx

Johnny Clegg brings the highly acclaimed A South African Story to the Royal Albert Hall. This story covers Johnny’s life through his music, and is an inspiring and uplifting journey. Experience the thrill of music and dance with Johnny Clegg.

Johnny Clegg is a dancer, anthropologist, singer, songwriter, academic, activist and French knight. Whilst all of these tags are fitting, none of them can accurately describe the energetic, passionate human being who has become one of South Africa's greatest musical exports. He has campaigned against the injustice of apartheid South Africa and been instrumental in putting the new South Africa on the map as a cultural ambassador. Clegg is an icon of South African music.

During the last three decades making anthemic hits, Johnny has proved himself to be an outstanding musical ambassador for his country and is known for his energetic stage performances. By combining African music structures with Celtic folk music and international rock sounds, Johnny pioneered a new and unique sound, establishing himself as South Africa’s biggest musical export. From Europe to the States, from Australia to Potchefstroom and London, audiences in sold out venues have danced to Cruel, Crazy Beautiful World, Scatterlings of Africa, I Call Your Name, Impi, Great Heart, and African Sky Blue.

• Hi all,
  I was able to go see Johnny in London for The South African Story show. It was an amazing venue and a great show. One of the highlights for me was Gumba Gumba Jive (never thought I'd hear that live in concert!) The band were joined by a few dancers for this was which was great. It was so interesting to hear the stories that were told as an intro to alot of the songs including Bullets for Bafazane, Gumba Gumba Jive! African Sky Blue, Digging for Some Words.
  Another highlight was some dancing that Johnny did with another member of the band as part of a Thandazani/Tatazela medley. Johnny can still hit those kicks!
  All the band looked well and seemed to enjoy the show. I swear Mandisa seems to be getting younger! Dan Shout was replaced by predecessor Brendan Ross for this one.
  There was some merchandise being sold at the show including T-Shirts and some sweatshirts.
  The good news is I managed to capture two of my highlights on camera along with Osiyeza. I love my old little trusty camera but it struggled with the bass from the sub-woofers as I was right at the front so the sound fluctuates alot.

31.10.2013 Johnny gets ambushed on radio.

"Legendary South African musician Johnny Clegg joined Martin Bester Drive on Thursday 31 Oct 2013, and the team had a surprise waiting for him. MBD got hold of Jesse Clegg, Johnny's son, whom is also a performing South African musician, who was gigging in New York at the time, and got him to record one of Johnny Clegg's most famous songs - 'Great Heart' - and Johnny's response was nothing short of tear-jerking."

Johnny Clegg – Celebrating 30 years Johnny Clegg
Vor dreissig Jahren begann sie, die Erfolgsgeschichte des «weissen Zulus» Johnny Clegg. Er steht in einer Reihe mit Nelson Mandela und Miriam Makeba, wurde berühmt zu Zeiten der Apartheid und zum ersten wirklichen Superstar der (süd-)afrikanischen Musik. Er war einer, der sich über die dekretierten Rassenschranken hinwegsetzte und sich für die Kultur der «Anderen» interessierte. «Juluka», die Band mit Sipho Mchunu, und Cleggs spätere Formation «Savuka» waren die ersten aus Schwarz und Weiss zusammengesetzten Gruppen des Landes. Sie vereinigten Zulu-Rhythmen, die Clegg als Jugendlicher in den Townships von Johannesburg kennenlernte, mit Rock und westafrikanischen Gitarrensounds. Clegg feierte damit weltweit Erfolge und füllte in Zürich Ende der 80er Jahre gar das Hallenstadion! «Celebrating 30 years Johnny Clegg»: Am 13. November im… Volkshaus! Weil’s kleiner viel schöner ist.

• ....we arrived in the concert hall (an old fabric building, but the show
  was in smaller part of it, partly seated) only 30 minutes ahead of
  beginning.There were some people sitting, and about 20 standing in
  front of the stage. So I could see the show and especially Johnny
  Clegg in a distance of less than 2 m!!!
  It was great ! It must be frustrating for him to play for less than
  300 people, but he made a terrific show and played for 2 hours
  nonstop.
  So if you want to be very close to Johnny, you have to come to a show
  in Germany:), but we have to wait a couple of years til he comes back.
  Maybe I go to France, there he is more often, but there I need my
  glasses to see him.

• Hi everybody, and welcome to Silke from an old (mostly
  lurking) member of the group. I have been to Mainz too,
  together with two friends who are as crazy about Johnny as I am.
  Coming from Berlin it meant to take a day off from work, but
  since it was a friday that wasn't much of a problem. The tour was
  called "Human", but he played a wide range of his oeuvre. Johnny
  was in top form, told a lot of stories like he always does, and
  he seems to have recovered from his back pains which prevented
  him from dancing during the last concerts I saw him. He danced
  quite a lot and clearly enjoyed it! I'd like to meet his
  orthopaedic specialist ... I had the impression Johnny has a
  great fanbase in Mainz - almost everyone sang at the top of their
  lungs. He closed with the promise to return next year. I'll sure
  be there! Have a nice week everyone!

06.12.2013 Statement by Johnny Clegg on the passing of Mr Nelson Mandela

My family and I send our condolences to all the Mandela family members on the passing of Tata.
We also share with every South African as well as the global community our sense of loss and sadness at his passing.
Nelson Mandela will always define a deep part of what and who we are as individuals and as a nation. It is difficult to separate the great journey to secure a democratic and non-racial... South Africa from his personal qualities and character. For all South Africans he was the face and form of that voyage, particularly in the crucial decade of 1990 – 2000.
In the defining and tempestuous years of 1990 through to April 27th 1994, his leadership was never overwhelmed by events, even in the darkest hours of Boipatong, the assassination of Chris Hani and other atrocities that were meant to derail the negotiations . When at times we felt doubt or fear, his strong resonant voice rolled out over the radio or TV and, like a tide going out, our reservations about the future receded.
We took immense nourishment and succor from his fearless and positive attitude. His charismatic openness, straight aim, sense of humour , direct but respectful communication with his opponents was a singularly rare quality in an environment of racist and right wing demagoguery. A turmoiled South Africa needed to feel that the Ship of State, riding the storm, was in good hands and Madiba never gave us cause to doubt that the storm would pass and the country would be free. It is the qualities of tolerance and forgiveness however which stand out as his lasting legacy as well as the way he used these to unite the country both during and after his presidency.
With all our fellow south Africans we acknowledge with deep gratitude the debt we owe to this humble and great statesman from Qunu, who bequeathed to us this great country of promise. Today, although we grieve, we also proudly rejoice in his remarkable life, which we were privileged to share through extraordinary times.
Hamba Kahle Tata!
Johnny Clegg and Family
