South African music trio WTF is back with a brand new single titled Mawungekho, set for release on 29th of May 2026 and this time they are bringing together the worlds of Trap, Amapiano and Maskandi in a way only they can. Featuring the soulful voice of uZondi, the song tells a deeply familiar story about love, pressure, timing and the fear of losing someone special to another person. It unfolds like a conversation between friends encouraging each other to step up and commit before it is too late, while also carrying the emotional weight of someone admitting that life simply feels incomplete without the person they love.

Known for creating and shaping the Gqomtrap sound, WTF continues to push South African music into exciting territory while staying connected to its roots. Formed in Durban in 2013 by Mnqobi Charles and Lindokuhle Gcwensa, the group has built a reputation for energetic performances and fearless experimentation, working with artists including AKA, Cassper Nyovest, DJ Maphorisa, DJ Tira, KO, Blxckie as well as the late Riky Rick. With Mawungekho, the group once again proves that South African music can honour tradition while still sounding fresh, bold and completely original.
