<p style="text-align: center;">Born Zethu Sangweni from Nhlazini near Richards Bay in northern KwaZulu Natal, Gog’Sangweni says her musical journey began in 2022 after returning from initiation school where she accepted her ancestral calling.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">According to the artist, her music is guided by spiritual inspiration and the messages she receives through dreams.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“My ancestors gave me the spiritual gift and the gift to sing. Everything that I do is not by force but it is a gift that was given to me by my ancestors,” she explains.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“They come to me during my sleep and give me the ideas of the songs that I must write and sing.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">She adds that when she consulted her ancestors about pursuing music, they gave her their blessing to use it as a platform for spiritual healing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“I did not know how it happened that I became an artist, but when I consulted with them, they gave me a green light to go and spread spiritual healing.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81909" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0006.jpg" alt="Traditional Healer Turned Singer Gog’Sangweni Releases Powerful New Song “Maye”" width="709" height="1280" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0006.jpg 709w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0006-166x300.jpg 166w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0006-567x1024.jpg 567w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0006-150x271.jpg 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0006-450x812.jpg 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“All my music has messages that come from my ancestors. They are using me to pass the message through. I am just a messenger of my ancestors and I do exactly what they want me to do,” she says.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Beyond music, Gog’Sangweni describes herself as a multi talented creative. She is a vocalist, songwriter, poet, motivator, author, fashion designer, wall art designer, actress, script writer, youth developer and advisor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Her musical style blends several genres including Afro House, Afro Soul, Gqom, Gospel and Maskandi.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Gog’Sangweni recently released a Gospel Gqom single titled “Maye,” featuring DJ Yamza.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81911" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0009.jpg" alt="Traditional Healer Turned Singer Gog’Sangweni Releases Powerful New Song “Maye”" width="734" height="1394" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0009.jpg 734w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0009-158x300.jpg 158w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0009-539x1024.jpg 539w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0009-150x285.jpg 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0009-450x855.jpg 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 734px) 100vw, 734px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">She says the song was inspired by gratitude for the protection and guidance she received during her spiritual journey.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“The song was motivated by the love God has shown me since I came back from initiation school.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“When I look back at the months when I was busy attending to the matter of my ancestral calling, completing it and coming back home to be able to work and be given the chance to sing, it is really amazing.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81912" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0007.webp" alt="Traditional Healer Turned Singer Gog’Sangweni Releases Powerful New Song “Maye”" width="581" height="1280" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0007.webp 581w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0007-136x300.webp 136w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0007-465x1024.webp 465w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0007-150x330.webp 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/IMG-20260308-WA0007-450x991.webp 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“God and my ancestors have been really good to me and ‘Maye’ is dedicated to them.”</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Inkabi Records is owned by rapper Big Zulu and it houses award winning artists like Zulu himself, Lwah Ndlunkulu, Stallion, Siya Ntuli, Star Healer, Fanatic and Mduduzi Mncube.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Inkabi Records announced Musiholiq late last year he was part of the family but the company is not getting him gigs and it sidelined him in their school tours.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">MDNtv News can confirm that the relationship between Musiholiq has gone South.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;You cannot announce someone as your artist and you don&#8217;t do anything for the singer. He doesn&#8217;t know whether he is coming or going. They have stopped taking his calls and they are continuing with their business and not involving in anything from the company. All Inkabi Records are not taking his calls and he has decided to focus more to his company and his artists,&#8221; the first source said.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Another source said that Inkabi Records management last spoke to Musiholiq whose real name is Ncazelo Mtolo from Umlazi in Durban in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in December.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;They stopped communicating with him. The guy is stressed but at least his company First Class Entertainment is doing very well. He signed Naledi Aphiwe and Okwanda and they are doing very. They were jealous of him and opted to sign him to destroy his talent. They are doong the thing with Mduduzi Ncube after he discovered Fanatic. They have decided to sign so that he cannot be bigger than Stallion production wise. They fear competition,&#8221; the source.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">The third source said:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;The working relationship was not working between the two parties and he has moved back to his stable called First Class Entertainment.He must focus on his artist and continue releasing music under his company. They have stopped posting anything related to his career.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">When Musiholiq was contacted he did not confirm or deny the allegations.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;I don&#8217;t what&#8217;s happening my brother. You contact them at Inkabi Records. They will explain better, they are best people to speak. I&#8217;m in the dark and things are not happening so I have my own company and artists so I think I have to focus on growing,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Inkabi Records Manager Will Dlamini failed to respond to the queries that were sent to him. Big Zulu was sent questions but did not respond.</p>
