Where in the country can one find an artist who is not a Rastaman, but his music is reggae?
While many people think that one should be Rastafarian to sing and produce reggae music, Khathu Mutswu (53) from Mbaleni outside Thohoyandou is doing things differently.
Mutswu, with his backing vocalist Vharendi, released his third album in November. Muthu o shanduka has four tracks, Nkhetheni, Muthu o shanduka, Mitodzi yashu and Be obedient.
He said that his voice fitted well into the reggae rhythm.
The title track, Muthu o shanduka, means that “a person has changed.”
According to Mutswu, people change through life and he is worried that a lot of children in the village of Mbaleni are abusing alcohol and drugs. "I want people to gather and discuss these burning issues, so that they can stop," he said.
All songs were composed and arranged by Khathu Mutswu and recorded at Vharendi Studio in Makwarela Extension 4. For bookings, call Mutswu on 072 1510 548.

Khathutshelo Dzaga from Thohoyandou Block G, known as Khathu within music circles, has captivated her fans with her latest song, “Muvhonetsheli”. The song is a collaboration with Uber Black and features Racha Kill. The song is in Khathu’s familiar style, often described as a mixture of amapiano and Afro-beat.
“Music should help address societal issues that are affecting the community,” says house musician Meshack Nemakhavhani, better known as Mesh De Vocalist. The musician from Tshaulu Buluni has released a new album, titled “Mbilu I Khombo”.
Musician and actor Mpho Majiga is quickly emerging as the next king of disco on the South African music scene. The position became available after the passing of the late, self-styled king of disco, the legendary Dan Tshanda.
At the youthful age of 29, Mukhethwa Ravhuhali, the Vhembe FM station manager, may be one of the youngest radio station managers around, but he is quickly becoming a household name in radio.
