Tshelani iEx, the eighth track from Maqhinga Hadebe’s grandiose project “Woza 2030” album, is a strong entry. Coming out in 2026, this release holds a special place as one of 13 tracks that collectively tell the story and music of the album.
Hadebe has a project-first perspective and makes sure that each song serves the complete experience and doesn’t just sit in isolation. Tshelani iEx is positioned at the end of the album and is essential to the album’s flow and progression. One of the defining elements of the “Woza 2030” album is the sequencing.
As a South African artist, Maqhinga Hadebe’s work is frequently imbued with the cultural and musical complexities of his own country. With this 2026 release, he continues to develop a coherent and forward-looking collection of work that speaks through its well-chosen tracks, including this ninth.
