QUESTION 5
Read through the following article and answer the questions that follow.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer,
songwriter, dancer, and philanthropist. Known as the "King of Pop", he is regarded as one of the
most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. During his four-decade career, his contributions to
music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular
culture. Jackson influenced artists across many music genres. Through stage and video performances,
he popularized complicated street dance moves such as the moonwalk, which he named, as well as
the robot.
The eighth child of the Jackson family, Jackson made his public debut in 1964 with his older
brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5 (later known as the Jacksons).
Jackson began his solo career in 1971 while at Motown Records. He became a solo star with his 1979
album Off the Wall. His music videos, including those for "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller" from his 1982
album Thriller, are credited with breaking racial barriers and transforming the medium into an art form
and promotional tool. He helped propel the success of MTV and continued to innovate with the videos
for his subsequent albums: Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book
I (1995), and Invincible (2001). Thriller became the best-selling album of all time, while Bad was the first
album to produce five US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles.[nb 1]
From the late 1980s, Jackson became a figure of controversy and speculation due to his changing
appearance, relationships, behavior, and lifestyle. In 1993, he was accused of sexually abusing the child of a
family friend. The lawsuit was settled out of civil court; Jackson was not indicted due to lack of
evidence. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of further child sexual abuse allegations and several other
charges. The FBI found no evidence of criminal conduct by Jackson in either case. In 2009, while he was
preparing for a series of comeback concerts, This Is It, Jackson died from an overdose
of propofol administered by his personal physician, Conrad Murray, who was convicted in
2011 of involuntary manslaughter for his involvement in Jackson's death. His death triggered reactions
around the world, creating unprecedented surges of internet traffic and a spike in sales of his
music. Jackson's televised memorial service, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, was estimated to
have been viewed by more than 2.5 billion people.
Jackson is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales estimated around 500 million records
worldwide.[nb 2] He had 13 Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles (fourth highest of any artist in the Hot 100 era)
and was the first artist to have a top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades. His
honors include 15 Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and 39 Guinness World
Records, including the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time". Jackson's inductions include the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame (twice), the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Dance Hall of
Fame (making him the only recording artist to be inducted) and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame.

Daphney Hlomuka

Daphney Hlomuka (1949 – 1 October 2008) was a South African television,


film, radio and stage actress.[1] On the small screen, Hlomuka was perhaps best known to
audiences for her role as MaMkhize (Mrs Mhlongo) in the television drama series, Hlala
Kwabafileyo, and as Sis May in the comedy, S’gudi S’naysi, opposite Joe Mafela.[1]
Hlomuka was born in Durban, South Africa, but raised in KwaMashu during
the Apartheid era.[1] She began acting in the theater in Durban in 1968,[2] and was
considered to be a protégé of the Durban-based playwright, Welcome Msomi.[1] Her
earliest theater credits included performances in two of Msomi's theatrical
productions: Qombeni and Umabatha, which was a Zulu adaptation of William
Shakespeare's Macbeth.[1] Umabatha became one of Msomu's most famous works.
[1]
Hlomuka worked in Zulu-language radio plays in the interim
between Qombeni and Umabatha.[2]
She left South Africa briefly during the 1970s to tour with the cast of Ipi Tombi in Europe.
[1]
During the 1960s and 1970s, roles on screen or stage for black actors in South Africa
were often difficult to find due to Apartheid.[1] Hlomuka often appeared off-screen as a radio
actor in several popular Zulu drama series.[1]
Hlomuka finally had success on South African television during the 1980s when she was
cast in the role of MaMhlongo in the dramatic television series, Hlala Kwabafileyo.[1] Her
character, MaMhlongo, was the wife and widow of a wealthy tycoon.[1] To this day in South
Africa, the word MaMgobhozi, which originated from the series and Ruth Cele's character,
describes the gossip habits attributed to women.[1]
She also appeared in the 1980s television comedy, S’gudi S’naysi, opposite well known
actor, Joe Mafela. Mafela portrayed the tenant, S’dumo. Hlomuka's character, Sis May,
was S'dumo's well-intentioned, tolerant landlady.[1] The series was popular during its run.

Hlomuka's film and television credits spanned the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s (decade). She

opposite actor John Kani.[1] She also starred as Queen Ntombazi in the 1986 South African
television miniseries, Shaka Zulu. She also starred on the SABC 1 series Gugu no Andile,
as her aunt. She also appeared in the 1996 syndicated television series, Tarzan: The Epic
Adventures.[1]
Her most recent roles included Rhythm City, as well as a controversial Nguni
language adaptation of the Shakespearean romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet.[1]
Daphney Hlomuka died of kidney cancer at Charlotte Maxeke

Madosini performed under the name Madosini and was regarded as a "national treasure" in
her field.

Over the years, she had collaborated and written songs with British rock singer Patrick Duff,
and in 2003 they went on to perform a number of successful concerts together around the
world. She had collaborated with South African musicians Thandiswa Mazwai, Ringo, Derek
Gripper and Gilberto Gil the famous Brazilian musician. Her latest collaboration with
