Africa-Press – Eswatini. The Eswatini music scene gained a compelling new voice on January 30, 2026, with the official release of “Ubobuyekhaya.”
This debut single from 24-year-old artist Wandiswa Dlamini, known professionally as Maweseli, marks the beginning of an exciting musical journey for the Matsapha-born singer.
Produced by the seasoned Wess June Ten, the track has quickly transitioned Maweseli from a church soloist to a national recording artist. The song explores the poignant realities of long-distance love, specifically focusing on a couple separated as the man works in Johannesburg.
Centering on themes of longing and hope, the song captures the emotional weight of a relationship where the man rarely makes it back home. Regarding the main message of the song, Maweseli explains that the music aims to “spread love and truth” through her melodies.
Maweseli captures the essence of this wait within the lyrics, singing, “Ngihlale ngituda ngabe wena usangikhumbula,” reflecting on whether she is still remembered while she remains behind.
The collaboration was born from Wess June Ten’s long-standing belief in nurturing fresh talent. Upon recognising Maweseli’s rare and emotive vocal ability, the producer felt the song was perfectly suited for her and entrusted the record to her care.
For Maweseli, music has always been a sanctuary. She grew up as the middle child of three sisters, often “making noise” for her family before finding a formal outlet for her gift. Even as she pursues a career as an Occupational Health and Safety Practitioner, she remains dedicated to her artistry.
The recurring plea of the song, “Ubobuyekhaya,” serves as a powerful anthem for anyone waiting on a loved one.
