NDOLWANE music super star Martin Sibanda, who split from his partner Charles Ndebele in 2011, over undisclosed issues, recently said that they will never reunite but they may work on a collaborative project for their fans.
“I don’t see myself uniting with him but collaborating on a project, I cannot say no or yes,” he said in an interview with Sunday Life recently.
Since their split Martin formed his own band Martin and Ndolwane Super Sounds, which has garnered a large following despite the split.
In an interview, Martin said he had never lost the plot despite splitting with Charles.
“I am not sure what still sounds the same in their ears,” he in relation to fans perceptions that his music still sounds the same.
“I never lost the main purpose of making music we had as Ndolwane Super Sounds, maybe the voice they always heard in Ndolwane is still available in me alone,” he said.
Martin said even though he understood that the split broke many fans’ hearts he would work towards producing the same quality of music they wanted.
“People love my music, I can sing all the songs including the old ones to satisfy their musical thirst,” said Martin.
He added: “I am there to serve their social interests musically like always, I will perform live music for them and I am here to stay, as long as they support me practically and not with lip service.”
Martin has released one album tilted Bakhuzeni since splitting with Charles.
Martin however, did admit that he occasionally reminisced on some moments while he was still with Charles, as Ndolwane Super Sounds.
“One of the best moments that I will forever cherish is when we shared the stage with Brenda Fassie in Botswana sometime in 1996,” he said.
Martin, who was nicknamed Amajongosi by his fans in South Africa, said he still had a wide fan base despite splitting from Charles.
“Martin and Ndolwane Super Sounds is mostly based here at home and goes to South Africa to stay there occasionally depending on work at a particular time.
“For instance we are having two shows at the end of April in South Africa in Mamelodi West, Pretoria and Hillbrow Theatre in Johannesburg.
“This means the team is going there for work,” said Martin.
