South African music icon and businesswoman DJ Zinhle has teamed up with 'Big Brother Mzansi' breakout star Akhonamathemba 'Sweet Guluva' Zwane on a brand-new track that’s already making waves online.
Released on Friday (6 June), the single 'Sweet Guluva' has already racked up over 60,000 views on YouTube... and counting.
Named after the rising reality star, the idea for the song was sparked by fan obsession.
"I saw people online just commenting, ‘Vote for Guluva,’ and I was like, who is this person?"
- DJ Zinhle
"I think people thought it would be gimmicky, but Nokwazi and I were committed to making a real music moment.”
- DJ Zinhle
With a beat by Ndloh Jnr and vocals from Nokwazi MaDlams Dlamini, the track also includes Zwane's signature chant.
DJ Zinhle revealed that the song will be the first single from her upcoming album, which is due in August.
But that’s not all fans can look forward to.
The Zee Nation Festival, a music and lifestyle festival that brings together the most iconic musical acts, is set to return on 9 August at the Nasrec Expo Centre.
“This year it’s bigger, better. I want it to feel like an experience, not just a show."
- DJ Zinhle
