Journey
Rufaro Mogale is a South African gospel singer, songwriter, and composer who made a distinct mark on the regional music scene during the early 1990s. He became recognized for his ability to blend traditional spiritual themes with the bright rhythms of Afropop, resulting in an uplifting signature sound.
Mogale established his musical legacy under the Reamusic label through two core studio projects. In January 1992, he released the Sotho-language gospel album "O Lerato Jehovah," showcasing his linguistic and musical versatility. He followed this in August 1993 with his definitive Zulu masterpiece, "iThuba Lokuthandaza." The iconic ten-track album and its popular title track achieved lasting regional popularity.
Operating just before the internet era, Mogale’s catalog remains an enduring, nostalgic testament to classic South African gospel history.
