Condry Ziqubu, born in 1951 and raised in Alexandra township north of Johannesburg, learned to play guitar from his older brother. He played in various groups, including The Anchors, Flaming Souls, and Flaming Ghettoes. After the tragic and unexplained death of his son in 1980, he deepened his initiation as a "Sangoma" (spiritual healer) and joined a famous group in 1981 after slaughtering a cow to appease the ancestors. Following the breakup of Harari, he formed a backing band for exiled artists and toured extensively, even landing a spot on the apartheid government's national security watchlist. In the late 1980s, Ziqubu launched a successful solo career.
