South African Maskandi musician Nkeshemba gives fans the reassuring “Sekuzolunga Mama,” a new song that has already charted on Spotify. The title carries a promise that things will get better, and the message follows through with comfort and resilience.
It came out on March 20, 2026, as track one of his EP “Imikhonto,” and it runs about four and a half minutes. So the opener sets the tone for the whole project. Nkeshemba handles most of the work himself, because he wrote the song with Wandile Mkhize and also produced and engineered it. His label, Nkeshemba Music, released it independently, and that level of control shows in how personal the record sounds.
The numbers back up the anticipation. On Spotify South Africa’s daily chart, “Sekuzolunga Mama” climbed to No. 30, while it peaked at No. 49 on the weekly chart in early April. Those figures add up to hundreds of thousands of streams, which is strong for a Maskandi record from an artist still building his name. A remix also circulated on YouTube, which suggests fans wanted to hear more, and his Audiomack page lists the “Imikhonto” project beside another release, “Ushaka.”
For listeners who need reassurance, the song delivers it plainly.
