Bongeziwe Mabandla Reflects on Karma with New Single “Walila”

Bongeziwe Mabandla continues the rollout of his forthcoming fifth studio album Ndingubani with the release of Walila, out now.

Released on 15 May, the track marks the third single from the upcoming album, which arrives on 11 June. The release also coincides with his ongoing South African tour.

Written with humour and emotional honesty, “Walila” reflects on karma and the idea that every action eventually returns to us. Inspired by injustice and consequence, the song imagines the moment someone must finally face the impact of their actions.

The accompanying visuals amplify the song’s expressive nature and bring its humour, drama, and theatricality to life through bold yet playful imagery.
