#BeautifulNews: The oldest Cape Malay choir guarding heritage with liedjies of love

Abduraghmaan Morris is an absolute gentleman. He’s always impeccably dressed, and there’s an unmissable tenderness in his voice. When Morris sings, there isn’t a dry eye in the house.

Though they resonate notes of a colourful world, they are also rooted in a deeply painful history.
