After a period of introspection and change, Lindokuhle “Mlindo The Vocalist” Mgedezi is back with a bang, ready to serenade the world with his latest single, ‘Isandla Ska Baba,’ set to drop on April 5th, 2024. But this isn’t just any ordinary song release – it’s a heartfelt anthem against Gender Based Violence (GBV), inspired by personal experiences and a burning desire to make a difference.

Mlindo hopes to spark conversations and inspire action, urging men to take responsibility and support the fight against this pervasive issue.
“As men, we have a duty to protect and uplift our sisters and mothers,” Mlindo emphasized. “We cannot stay silent while our communities suffer. Through this song, I want to empower survivors and let them know that they are not alone.”
As anticipation builds for the release of ‘Isandla Ska Baba,’ Mlindo’s message of resilience and solidarity serves as a beacon of hope in a world plagued by violence and injustice. With his music as a powerful tool for change, Mlindo The Vocalist is on a mission to make a difference, one heartfelt note at a time.
