The singer, better known in music circles as Muthude, is a former teacher at Rivierplaats near Elim. His music career started in 2017 with the release of his first CD, called Living in the Modern World.
One of the songs, Leave or Stay, which features on the new album, advises people that whether they leave or keep staying in any kind of bad relationship is their choice.
Coleen Siaga, community builder around Thohoyandou and Muthude’s promoter, said he would like to see the artist produce good-quality music that could really be appreciated. All songs were composed by Muthude himself, with Vanessa “Vanepha” Mphanama as backing vocalist. The CD was recorded by Fannie Khalanga at Diamond Studios in Gauteng, Johannesburg.

The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
With a successful roots-reggae album titled “Shandukani” to his name, Fhatuwani Richard Mashele is quickly becoming a household name in South African music. Better known as Jah Saint in music circles, Mashele believes that success does not come overnight and that one must work hard to earn it.
