Anna Afrikaner Makes a Comeback With Khomasdal Concert

She’s the voice that gave us ‘Don’t Look Back’, also known as ‘Siwelewele’.

Now, Anna Afrikaner, the lead singer of the iconic Gobabis-based band People’s Choice, is making a comeback.

Known to fans simply as Anna, the gifted songbird made her first major public appearance in years at the recent ‘Ma /Gaisa Meets Oviritje’ concert at Bobby Sissing Stadium at Khomasdal.

Famous for an exceptional vocal range, Anna says life off stage has been anything but easy.

Raised by foster parents, Anna admits she has made mistakes along the way.

“Firstly, I deeply regret thinking I could make a decent living from music alone,” she says.

“I was blinded by my love for it. Everyone back then told me I would go far with my voice. I was just living for the moment then,” she says.

“They said I’d have the same high life as my childhood idol Brenda Fassie. And I believed them. She’s undoubtedly the best female singer to come out of South Africa, and people said I had that same talent.”
