# uMbongwa’s *Wenza Mawala* Brings Tribute and Collaboration to Maskandi

uMbongwa’s *Wenza Mawala* is a Maskandi single released on 17 September 2026. Although presented as a single, the release includes three tracks, giving it the shape of a compact project rather than a one-song drop.

The release opens with **“Wenzani Ekufeni,”** a tribute to Sandile Mbongwa featuring **Sne Ntuli**. That dedication gives *Wenza Mawala* an emotional centre, positioning the project within a tradition of remembrance and musical homage.

The title track, **“Wenza Mawala,”** also features Sne Ntuli, alongside **Thembani**, expanding the collaborative focus of the release. The closing track, **“Abathakathi,”** completes the project with a solo uMbongwa performance.

With its three-track structure, *Wenza Mawala* offers a concise introduction to uMbongwa’s Maskandi sound while highlighting the artist’s connections with Sne Ntuli and Thembani. Its tribute opening, collaborative title track and solo closer give the release a clear internal progression, making it worth attention for listeners looking for a brief but focused Maskandi project.

*Wenza Mawala* is available from 17 September 2026.
