Johannesburg - The Soil frontwoman, Buhle Mda has revealed that she will be taking a break from the group to concentrate on her ancestral calling from March this year.
"As Africans, at times we have to answer to greater beings than ourselves. Hence I will be taking some time out to concentrate on my own ancestral callings. So, from March 2016 I will be absent from all performances with The Soil," Buhle said in a video posted to the group's Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon.
