As the group completes the final verses, the song’s message of unity and cultural harmony is already building anticipation ahead of its official debut later this year.
South Africa (02 February 2026) – There’s something special about watching a song come together, especially when it carries the weight of a shared story. That’s the feeling radiating from the studio as Tanner Wareham, together with Angel Mazibuko, puts the final touches on Umoya Wetu, a track they’re already calling their next great South African anthem.
Shared in a behind-the-scenes clip, the group revealed that Umoya Wetu, which translates to Our Spirit, is nearing completion. You can tell excitement is palpable, mainly because of what the song represents.
Blending English, Afrikaans and isiZulu, Umoya Wetu leans into South Africa’s layered identity. Celebrating different cultures is a sound that reflects the country as it is. Many voices and stories, but one shared spirit. The fact that the song also features Angel adds to this depth. Tanner is known for giving songs a fresh and meaningful touch. His music often focuses on real stories and shared moments, making it easy for listeners to connect.
Lines like “We come from many places, seen in many faces” and “There’s beauty in the races that fill our home as the rainbow colours fill the sky”, a reminder of music being a meeting point.
The timing couldn’t be more fitting. The song is being prepared for launch alongside the Lekker Network at their in March.
For now, fans are left with studio snippets and harmonies.
