Makeba spotted alone

A fan spotted Miriam Makeba walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of September 27, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Miriam back on the market?

A rep for Miriam Makeba was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Monday (September 28), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Miriam’s phone number?”
