    Dorothy Masuka (3 September 1935, Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia – 23 February 2019, Johannesburg, South Africa) was a Zimbabwe-born South African jazz singer. She was born in Bulawayo, the fourth of seven children, and her mother was Zulu while her father was a Zambian hotel chef. Still, she attended a Catholic school deemed good by the standards of education allowed blacks. Her family moved to South Africa when she was 12 due to her health. By the time she was 19 she was touring in South Africa with singers she had admired as a girl.
