South African music is entering a bold new era as vocalists Lwah Ndlunkulu and MaWhoo join forces under the moniker Zulu Queens.
The powerhouse duo is set to drop their joint Maskandi album, Isithembu, bringing a 14-track celebration of traditional culture, energy, and musical heritage to fans.
The announcement has triggered widespread excitement across the music scene. The duo recently hosted a joint live-stream event on Facebook and TikTok to offer supporters a sneak peek into the recording process and project vision.
Following the broadcast, the group expressed their gratitude directly to their audience:
“To everyone who showed up at our Special Announcement, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The love, the energy, the screams, we felt every single bit of it. You made that night unforgettable. We see you. We appreciate you. We love you. But the journey doesn’t end there. NOW WE WANT TO SEE MORE OF YOU!”
Supporters will get the chance to experience the new material live ahead of the official release date through two exclusive launch parties.
The first event takes place in Kempton Park on 25 August 2026, followed by a second gathering in Umhlanga, Durban, on 27 August 2026.
