Sometimes called the “White Zulu,” Mr. Clegg was a British-born singer whose multiracial bands attracted an international following during the era of white minority rule in South Africa. “He played a major role in South Africa getting people to learn about other people’s cultures and bringing people together,” Quin said. Mr. Clegg recorded songs he was arrested for and “never gave in to the pressure of the apartheid rules,” his manager said. Mr. Clegg had been diagnosed with cancer in 2015, and the grueling treatment included two six-month sessions of chemotherapy and an operation. He called on Mr. Clegg to resume the song and urged all in the audience to get up and dance.
