Bongeziwe Mabandla’s latest album turns themes of hope and belonging into a soulful, stripped-back collection that cements his place as one of South Africa’s most thoughtful songwriters.
The upcoming album titled “Ndingubani” promises to showcase Mabandla’s theatrical storytelling and vulnerability with his signature blend.
The latest single from the album, called ‘Walila’, touches on pain and injustice, but Bongeziwe approaches the visuals of the song with humour and lightness.

In a Drum Magazine interview, Mabandla said: “I wanted to make a song that is not very serious but also very me. I never really let myself get defeated, and this song is a testament to that. I’m very quietly strong.”
The album is scheduled to be released on June 11, just after he wraps up his tour on June 5th at the Reunion Islands.
