# Ithwasa Lekhansela Announces 18-Track Album *Inxakanxaka*

Ithwasa Lekhansela will release *Inxakanxaka*, an 18-track album arriving on 22 October 2026. The project presents a substantial new body of work from the South African artist, with a tracklist that moves between solo performances and a series of guest appearances.

The album’s title track, “Inxakanxaka”, appears at its centre, opening up the possibility of the project’s name functioning as a focal point for the album. Beyond that, the available details do not specify a broader concept or narrative, but the tracklist suggests a release with room for different subjects, moods and approaches.

Ithwasa Lekhansela handles the majority of the album alone. The featured contributions are spread across five songs: Sne Ntuli appears on “Nanguya”; Bahubhe joins “Amabala”, “Wafungela Thina” and “Mabhebeza”; Jumbo features on “Hamba Moya”; and Nqobile Dlamini appears on “Ngizomthanda”. These collaborations give the project several points of connection without overshadowing its primary artist.

The album also has a notably varied set of titles. Songs such as “Amajika”, “Ngevolovolo”, “Kuphelelisiwe” and “Hloniph'izinqa” sit alongside more immediately recognisable phrases and contemporary references, including “uMessi no Ronaldo”, “Don't Go”, “Tonight” and “iVideo Call”. That range gives *Inxakanxaka* an open-ended character before the music is even heard.

The full tracklist is:

1. “Amajika”
2. “Ngevolovolo”
3. “Nanguya” ft. Sne Ntuli
4. “Inxakanxaka”
5. “Amabala” ft. Bahubhe
6. “Kuphelelisiwe”
7. “Hloniph'izinqa”
8. “Wafungela Thina” ft. Bahubhe
9. “uMessi no Ronaldo”
10. “Hamba Moya” ft. Jumbo
11. “Don't Go”
12. “Tonight”
13. “Mabhebeza” ft. Bahubhe
14. “Ngimuhle”
15. “Ithuna Lendlala”
16. “Ngizomthanda” ft. Nqobile Dlamini
17. “iVideo Call”
18. “Njengo Skhinkili”

With 18 tracks and a release date set for 22 October 2026, *Inxakanxaka* is positioned as a sizeable album rather than a brief statement. Its appeal will be in hearing how Ithwasa Lekhansela connects the solo material, recurring collaborations with Bahubhe and the album’s wide-ranging song titles into one complete project.
