Windhoek — The thriving Afrikaans music industry in South Africa and Namibia is about to be shaken by a revealing autobiography of folk singer Randall Wicomb's mixed origin and the artist, who allegedly had his bread buttered on both sides during the apartheid years.
Wicomb, who hails from the Little Karoo town of Oudtshoorn, which for decades teemed with coloured tennis players, teachers and journalists, was on the crest of the music wave over the past 40 years and married a white woman, Koba.
