"There is one female singer who dominated the Pantsula dance scene both on records and live shows. She ultimately earned the title 'Queen of Pantsulas'. Daughter of a priest, Nomsa Mercy Pakela arrived in Johannesburg in 1982 from New Brighton, Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape searching for stardom and she got just that. She had started singing back home at the age of 16. After a stint with Lena Khama and Girlie Mafura as Ebony, she signed a contract with MFM . . . It was at live concerts that the impact of her music on her fans was immense as 'Tunkie Tunkie' danced as if her life depended on it."
