Paradise in Gazankulu is the 27th and final studio album by Harry Belafonte, released by EMI Records in 1988. The album deals with the plight of black South Africans under the Apartheid system at the time of its release. The album was re-released as an official MP3 download in the U.K., in 2010. The title is in reference to the former South African Bantustan of Gazankulu that was intended by the apartheid-era government to be a semi-independent homeland for the Tsonga people.
