South Sudanese singer Mbaraza Joy Enosa Mbaraza, better known by her stage name Sweet J has once again captured hearts in Yambio Town after distributing relief items to elderly residents for the second time this year.
More than 20 elderly people, including a 117-year-old woman, benefited from her generosity. Each received two bars of soap, four cups of sugar, two pieces of salt, and a large bottle of coffee flour.
“The little I get from my music must be shared with those who don’t have access to basic needs, and if I make it big in the future, I will expand this support across the state and beyond,” Sweet J said.
Earlier this year, the legend singer carried out a similar outreach, proving her commitment to turning music into a tool for community support.
Elders praised Sweet J for remembering them in hard times.
“At my age, nobody thinks about us anymore, but Sweet J did. May God bless her,” said Mama Cecilia, aged 117.
Another beneficiary, Rebecca Sadaraka, added that. “These gifts may look small, but for us, they mean a lot. She has set a good example for other young artists.”
A Lesson for South Sudanese Artists, Sweet J’s act shines a light on how musicians can use their platform beyond entertainment.
Despite the current economic struggles in South Sudan, she has shown that generosity is about the heart, not wealth.
Her gesture challenges fellow artists to connect with communities and prove that music can indeed be a voice of change.
