Durban, South Africa — 29 October, 2025:
Acclaimed South African actress, classical singer, teacher, and writer Nombulelo M is thrilled to unveil her latest musical offering, “Imithwalo,” featuring MaWhoo and the Q Twins — a collaboration that promises to be one of the most soulful and empowering records of the year.
“Imithwalo,” meaning burdens in isiZulu, is an Afro Soul/Amapiano fusion that delicately explores themes of pain, healing, and spiritual endurance. It brings together three of South Africa’s most distinguished female voices, weaving a narrative of strength, sisterhood, and faith.
Produced by ExclusiveDrums, the track blends gentle piano chords, soft log drums, and airy percussion, creating a meditative yet uplifting soundscape. Each artist shines in her own light — from Nombulelo M’s emotive and raw opening, to MaWhoo’s ethereal delivery and the Q Twins’ soul-stirring harmonies that elevate the song to transcendent heights.
Speaking about the collaboration, Nombulelo M expressed heartfelt gratitude for the journey behind the song:
“Creating this masterpiece has been truly life-changing for me. Working with artists as incredibly talented and successful as MaWhoo and the Q Twins has been nothing short of divine alignment. From the moment I met MaWhoo at her studio camp, she’s been nothing but phenomenal — pushing me to trust myself, to let go of fear, and to fully step into my power as a musician.”
“The Q Twins, just as inspiring, brought their magic and sisterhood into the song. Together we really embodied girl power in every sense. MaWhoo’s patience, the Q Twins’ encouragement and love, and our producer’s kindness made this experience unforgettable. I’m filled with deep gratitude for this journey — and I truly can’t wait for the world to hear more music from me. I pray ‘Imithwalo’ touches hearts, heals the broken, and reminds listeners that God removes burdens for all who have lost hope.”
At its heart, Imithwalo is a message of resilience, belief, and restoration. The song captures the collective emotional weight of modern life while offering a sonic balm — a reminder that burdens can be lifted through faith, connection, and music.
With its warm harmonies, reflective lyrics, and healing rhythm, Imithwalo invites listeners to pause, breathe, and reconnect with their inner strength. It’s a testament to the power of music as both expression and liberation.
