Everyone Deserves a Chance – ‘Steve Kekana’

When Frans Sinangela (41) was young, his father called him Steve Kekana, after the legendary blind

South African musician whose music inspired many across the continent.

At the time, it was an affectionate nickname motivated by a little boy’s love for music.

This was almost prophetic.

Sinangela has grown into a respected radio journalist, musician and disability rights advocate whose voice reaches audiences far beyond the airwaves.

His journey, however, began with challenges many could never imagine.

Born blind in the Zambezi region, Sinangela was once told he could not attend school because there was no way to teach him to read or write.
