Mthandazo Gatya Drops ‘Sehlulekile’ Ft Nomfundo Moh – Award-winning South African singer/songwriter Mthandazo Gatya returns with a powerful new single. “Sehlulekile,” is a soul stirring ballad that dives deep into the emotional complexities of love, heartbreak, and healing. Teaming up with Nomfundo Moh, the two artists deliver a poignant collaboration that is as musically rich and emotionally raw.

“Sehlulekile” (which means “We’ve Failed”) explores the difficult moments that follow a failed relationship, where love, despite all efforts, no longer survives. Over a moving arrangement of gentle piano chords and stirring harmonies, the track speaks to the pain of disappointment and the emotional scars that toxic relationships can leave behind.

But beyond its beauty, “Sehlulekile” carries weighty themes. Mthandazo uses this release as a space to address real-life struggles that often go unspoken: depression, emotional abuse, and gender-based violence (GBV). It’s a vulnerable, necessary message wrapped in a sonic experience that invites listeners to feel, reflect, and ultimately, find strength.
