He moved to Zimbabwe where he lived until the age of seven. He and his mother immigrated to South Africa where she got married to a South African Journalist. Johnny became exposed to township life at an early age. He met Sipho Mchunu, who would later become his music partner. Clegg and Mchunu formed the band Juluka, producing a blend of traditional Zulu and pop music. Juluka was the first group that featured a white and black man, and was created in defiance of the segregationist laws of the apartheid era. his involvement with black musicians often led to arrests for trespassing on government property and for contravening the Group Areas Act. He was undeterred and continued in his quest to take his brand of music to the people. If anything Clegg’s music and defiance of the terrible apartheid laws gave hope to the people of South Africa. Unfortunately Clegg recently passed away from pancreatic cancer. jonny Clegg had a belief and he did not waiver in his quest to see it through. Despite all the odds being stacked against him, he pursued what he believed to be correct, and despite being a musician ended up taking a political stance that gave hope to many ill-treated and underprivileged people.the most inspiring trait of Clegg’s, was his motivation and belief to pursue what he believed in and wanted to achieve. Despite the odd’s being stacked heavily against him, he continued to perform and give hope to the people of South Africa.
