Award-winning DJ and businesswoman DJ Zinhle has teamed up with soulful singers Thabsie and Brenden Praise to drop a brand new song called Kusazokhanya. The song, which is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, iTunes, and other major platforms, is all about spreading hope and reminding people that better days are coming.
The title Kusazokhanya is a Zulu phrase that means “There will be light again”, and that message is exactly what this trio hopes will shine through when people listen to the song.
In a short interview about the song, DJ Zinhle shared her heart and vision behind the music. “I’m hoping that when people hear this song they will get the message that keeps them going, that keeps them hopeful and that makes them think things are going to be better, because they will be better,” she said.
DJ Zinhle has always been known not just for her music, but for inspiring others, and this time she’s doing it through sound and lyrics meant to uplift people going through tough times.
Brenden Praise, who also features on the song, spoke about how Kusazokhanya is a reminder that no pain lasts forever.
“The main thing that I hope people take away from this song is that nothing is finite, everything is infinite and things can change. No matter how hard a situation is, you can always come back from it, you can always bounce back,” he said.
“You just have to wait sometimes. The second verse actually speaks about that. The verse that I put on is just really about waiting, and sometimes it seems like it’s taking forever, but no matter what happens, you will get to where you are meant to be.”
Thabsie, known for her warm voice and powerful lyrics, added her own hopeful message: “I hope that when people listen to this song, when they play it for the first time or a thousand times—I just really hope that the message lands,” she said.
“There is hope, and regardless of the situation you’re facing now, there will be light. Tomorrow is a brand new day. The sun will come out, the stars will shine, and God’s light will shine on you. Tough times never last.”
With such deep meaning behind it, Kusazokhanya is more than just a song, it’s a musical message of encouragement, healing, and faith.
