Poet and controversial activist Ntsiki Mazwai unveiled details of her new collaboration, Imbokodo, on X. She positioned the track as a powerhouse anthem for the #16DaysOfActivism campaign.
Mazwai, who recently accused Nicki Minaj of plagiarising her album cover, asked fans if they cosigned the collab, writing in her caption "niyayivuma or kanjani?" See the full X post below:
The track, translating to "Rock" in isiZulu, promises a fusion of Mazwai's spoken-word edge, LaSauce's rap flow, Chaka Chaka's veteran vocals, and Melanin Drip's production, all under the umbrella of gender-based violence awareness.
Replies mix enthusiasm and shade
The comments section blended hype with pleas for details. @trvsnthescotts responded:
"Once ithi 1st ka December asinakwaxesha lodlala, sifuna ooKabza, Jazzworx, Thukuthela, Sam Deep soo… ooYvonne Chaka Chaka sobabona pha ngoFebruary."
The user highlighted that the artists in this collab that is coming out in December are not worth "wasting the festive season on," saying that he would rather listen to the artists he mentioned.
Veteran musician Yvonne Chaka Chaka caught a stray bullet as the user singled her out by name and saying that she [Yvonne] should try again in February, insinuating that the festive season is for youthful musician to release music.

Ntsiki Mazwai drags DJ Shimza
Not a stranger to controversy, Mazwai levelled allegations against internationally acclaimed South African musician, DJ Shimza. Mazwai, who is also a podcaster, claimed that the music producer was one of the DJs who paid for slots to play internationally.
This came after it was announced that DJ Shimza was nominated for the DJ Awards, which are annual electronic music awards held in Ibiza, often referred to as the "Oscars of dance music," recognising and celebrating DJs and individuals who have significantly influenced the global electronic music scene.
The awards, which started in 1998, feature a dynamic mix of categories that evolve with changing trends and include specific awards for artists, clubs, festivals, and industry professionals.
