The single will be released under KaMavuso Verse
Entertainment, which is owned by Ukhozi FM’s news anchor, Bongani Mavuso.
Not only does Mangcobo act and sing, she’s also a

Her sound is Afro-soul with strong traditional

calling.
She said: “I’m a spiritual being who’s always guided by
an ancestral calling in everything I do.”
Bongani said Mangcobo approached and asked him to listen
to her demo.
He was impressed and didn’t hesitate to agree to record
her under his stable.
The single will be out in a few weeks’ time.
