Sangoma and reality Tv star Michelle Vundla, who is popularly referred to as Mphowabadimo, took to Instagram to share the news of the release of her first single labeled Bonga.  

The star made her first debut in the entertainment industry after viewers were introduced to her in the Big Brother Mzansi house. In the show, Mpho revealed many sides to her personality, and she easily became a fan favourite as her fans made sure that she was the last to leave the house and the first female to win the show’s final prize.  

Since then, Mpho has been spotted on our TV screens and later branched into the world of YouTube, starting her own podcast, Mphowabadimo. Her YouTube channel is centred around her life as she invites viewers into her world, serving them content of her sit-down conversations, Get Ready With Me videos, dlozi chats and much more.  

The mother of two shared the news of her most recent venture as she was taking on the music scenes of the entertainment industry. In the video, Mpho shared that she had a passion for music, sharing, “I’ve just been spending so much time in the studio trying to understand the craft, trying to perfect the craft.” She further shared, “I’m just so happy that it finally gets to come out and right now my biggest worry is how all of you will receive it.”

Upon finally realising her single, Bonga, she took to Instagram to share the significance behind the title of her single. She captioned her post:

“So with everything that’s happened today I think it’s only fair to explain why ‘BONGA’ is my first single. My journey hasn’t really been a secret, my life was a little more exposed than what I would have wanted it to be & there were situations I wish I could have kept to myself but with all that being said, I learned so much about myself.”

Reflecting on what she has learnt about her life being in the public eye, she said, “I got to appreciate so much that I might have overlooked & I’m so thankful to where all this has led me, ngiya BONGA ???.

“To everyone for being so supportive, being so positive & for always being here, The road is still long & this GAL IS BUSY!!!!??? Thank you so much for the messages about the song ? Today was special,” she concluded her post.
