Dorothy Masuka (3 September 1935 – 23 February 2019) was a Zimbabwe-born South African jazz singer. Her song "Dr. Malan," was banned because she criticized apartheid. In 1961 she sang a song for Patrice Lumumba, which led to her exile. Many of her songs are in the Ndebele language or Sindebele languages.
Masuka died on 23 February 2019 in Johannesburg, South Africa from complications of hypertension, aged 83.
