Winnie Khumalo's daughter Rethabile Khumalo's third studio album pays a touching tribute to the late singer.
Acclaimed singer Rethabile Khumalo is set to release her highly anticipated third studio album, Kwelizayo, a deeply personal and emotional tribute to her late mother, Winnie Khumalo.
The album captures a journey of grief, healing, and self-discovery, offering listeners an intimate look into her emotional world while telling stories that resonate with many who have experienced loss, resilience, and growth.
Through this body of work, Khumalo steps into a more vulnerable and authentic version of herself. Each track reflects relatable life experiences, moments of pain, strength, and hope, positioning the album not only as a musical offering but as a source of healing and a voice of reason for her audience.
The album embraces South Africa’s rich cultural diversity, incorporating multiple languages, including isiXhosa, isiZulu, and Sepedi, allowing Khumalo to connect more deeply with a broad spectrum of listeners.
“My mother paved the way for me”: Khumalo
“I have been quiet for some time, my mother paved the way for me – it’s now my turn to turn a new leaf as I rediscover how to build my own legacy from where she left off. Though she may not be here physically, I want to make uMa proud,” says Khumalo.
Kwelizayo is more than just an album – it is a tribute, a healing process, and a declaration of growth.
Release date and further details will be announced soon.
