“Nomakwenzenkani where Lundi features Fikile Mlomo was recorded in October 2016 and is set to hit radio stations this week. The other three new songs are; Uyithemba Lami featuring Sipho Mbhele; Uphakeme featuring Thinah Zungu and Zonkizizwe which he worked on with M Siya‚” Anele said.
While‚ Anele could not divulge too much detail‚ he said that the album formed part of a series of projects that would ensure Lundi’s legacy lived on.
“As much as we are all still grieving‚ his family also felt that his music should be out there‚ just as Lundi would have wanted‚” he said.
