TRENDING AND BACKCHAT
A group of 50 South African musicians collaborated on a song, The Crossing, to celebrate the life of Johnny Clegg. The song went viral. Clegg was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015. This is how Twitter reacted

It has been the greatest honour of my career to work on this track.

Ever listened to a song and get that awesome #goosebumps feeling? This song does it. What an awesome collaboration.
@Jaydedido
Wow gave me goosebumps. One South Africa for all, United in diversity...

This, right here, is the country I love; South Africa, that through art, transcends all the b ****** t. Respect to all the artists who made this powerful rendition possible and a bow to the man, the humanist, the brilliant artist: Johnny Clegg. Such a worthy initiative. Listen.
@Jesse_Clegg
Hugely proud to be a part of this incredible song and initiative for my dad. Massive thanks to all the artists and organisations for taking part. Please share and let’s raise funds to improve literacy and computer skills for young underprivileged students.

My 87-year-old mom said one of the highlights in her life was meeting Johnny at his Madikwe concert some years ago. She has always loved his music. She will love this!
@daBeet
Clegg is and will always be an inspiration to so many people in South Africa and across the globe. It was an honour to meet him several years ago. This tribute is exactly what he deserves. Left me feeling very emotional.
@RandsnSense
Am I the only one that thought the worst when they saw Johnny Clegg trending? 2018 has been rough.
@ZeldalaGrangeSA
This is my South Africa! Tears every time I watch this. Madiba said music speaks a language that crosses all barriers. Here it is.
@LadyWhoIsBlack
Why can’t SA live like this eternally? Ooh this is beautiful!
@TbangSA
I saw Vicky Samson in there and had flash backs of a happier time in my life.
@KP24
An incredibly moving song in tribute to a South African icon, @JohnnyCleggReal who has pancreatic cancer.
