“Stepping into a solo career was a decision deeply rooted in faith. I felt in my spirit it was time. If there’s one thing I have always prayed about, it’s God’s timing,” Esethu told TshisaLIVE.
“I’ve always asked Him to speak, and I’ve been clear with Him that when the time is right, He must make it happen. I truly believe if it wasn’t time for me to go solo it wouldn’t have happened.” — Times.
