PJ Powers (born Penelope Jane Dunlop,[1] 16 July 1960, Durban) is a South African singer and performer.

World in Union 95, the Ladysmith Black Mambazo version featuring PJ Powers, became an international hit record in 1995.

Their sound, afro-pop fusion music framing PJ Powers' distinctive voice, attracted an expanded, cross cultural fan base.

The formula of young, energetic musicians performing vibrant music in all areas was well accepted by their youthful target audience.

Powers followed up by writing more hits, including "I Feel So Strong" (1983 duet with Steve Kekana), "Home to Africa" (1985), and "There is an Answer" (1986).

1988: PJ Powers was banned from radio and TV for a year by the apartheid government for her performance at a charity concert for war orphans in Zimbabwe, along with Miriam Makeba and Harry Belafonte.

She performed the song live at the opening of the Rugby World Cup in Cape Town for a worldwide television audience.
