WHEN life hit hard, he hit back with faith.
Pumula South’s own Mthandazo Sibanda (29) has poured his soul into a touching gospel ballad titled ‘Angingabazi,’ a moving anthem birthed from pain, prayer and powerful testimony.
Written during the dark days of 2021, when the world was reeling from Covid-19 and his own life was crumbling, the six-minute track is a heart-cry of gratitude for prayers answered when all hope seemed lost.
“I wrote the song in one of the hardest seasons of my life. Things were falling apart, but God showed up when I needed Him the most,” said Mthandazo.
Opening with a mellow beat and the heartfelt line, ‘Ngimuzwil’ ekhuluma nam. Ngimbonil’ ebamb’ isandla sam’ (I heard Him speak to me and saw Him hold my hand), the track invites listeners to reflect on their own miracles.
Although recorded last year, Angingabazi was released only this month. Mthandazo believes the delay was part of divine timing.
“Only God knows why we delayed, but as believers we trust His timing,” he added.
The Cowdray Park-born singer, who also juggles teaching duties at a Bulawayo school, says music is more than art for him; it is spiritual connection.
“When I’m on stage, I connect with people’s emotions in a way words can’t. Singing taps into a creativity that’s natural to me,” he said.
The song title means “I do not doubt” in Zulu, a bold declaration of faith and hope that reminds listeners miracles still happen.
Available on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and others, Angingabazi is a must-listen for anyone who has ever waited for a breakthrough.
Mthandazo hopes his story will spark reflection: “Sometimes we’re so busy looking at what we don’t have that we forget to thank God for what we do.”
From heartbreak to healing, his journey is living proof that faith still moves mountains.
