Okmalumkoolkat’s 2026 project iTheku eThekwini has one notable moment in the track uZongithanda uNomphelo. The song is the seventh cut on an eleven-track trip that boasts a collaboration with Khanzi Mnguni that adds a fresh dimension to the South African artist’s rich soundscape.
The album is a unified message, and uZongithanda uNomphelo fits neatly within the greater story that Okmalumkoolkat has been building. Each song is part of the project-first vision, with the emphasis on the communal experience rather than individual singles. Working with Khanzi Mnguni offers a unique voice that enhances the flow and depth of the project.
Track seven forms part of a thoughtfully planned series of tracks as part of iTheku eThekwini, with the artist committed to a holistic release. Staying true to Okmalumkoolkat’s South African roots, the 2026 project is a complex, painstakingly crafted chapter of music.
