Maskandi Rivals Mthandeni SK and Khuzani Mpungose Battle for Song of the Year Title as Ukhozi FM and Umhlobo Wenene FM Rake in Millions

The annual Song of the Year competition hosted by public radio stations Ukhozi FM (Ingoma Ehlukanisa Unyaka) and Umhlobo Wenene FM (Ingoma Yonyaka) is shaping up to be a fiercely contested affair, particularly with maskandi music dominating the charts. As the year-end showdown approaches, fans of the genre are mobilizing to support their favorite artists, turning the competition into a battle of loyalty and influence.

The Contenders:

  1. Mthandeni ‘SK’ Manqele
    • Song: Gucci
    • Station: Ukhozi FM
    • Current Rank: #1 on Ukhozi FM’s charts
  2. Khuzani Mpungose
    • Song: Imbongolo
    • Station: Umhlobo Wenene FM
    • Current Rank: #1 on Umhlobo Wenene FM’s charts
  3. Malibongwe ‘Mjolisi’ Gwala
    • Song: My Dululu
    • Station: Ukhozi FM
    • Current Rank: #2 on Ukhozi FM’s charts
  4. Lindo Mtangayi
    • Song: Kuvele Kukhanye
    • Station: Umhlobo Wenene FM
    • Current Rank: #2 on Umhlobo Wenene FM’s charts

The Stakes:

While Ukhozi FM and Umhlobo Wenene FM are poised to rake in millions from voting revenue, controversy remains over the distribution of these funds. Historically, artists receive little to no financial compensation despite the enormous revenue generated by these competitions.

This year, the rivalry between SK Manqele and Khuzani Mpungose has escalated, with both enjoying significant fan bases known for their dedication. For the fans, the competition transcends song quality, becoming a matter of proving who reigns supreme in the maskandi genre.

Social Media Buzz:

The public voting process has sparked debate among fans:

  • Some feel transparency in votes is unfair, as it allows for tactical voting and manipulation.
  • Others believe the system reflects genuine public sentiment, creating a more exciting contest.

Fan comments on social media illustrate the competitive spirit:

  • “Lindo, you’re very close. Let’s push and remove Khuzani from number one.”
  • “Votes should have remained a secret. This is wrong because it gives an unfair advantage to those who can vote for themselves.”
  • “Next week, My Dululu will be number one—don’t complain when it happens.”

The winners of Ingoma Ehlukanisa Unyaka and Ingoma Yonyaka will be announced at midnight on December 31, capping off a heated race that underscores the popularity of maskandi music. However, the broader question of financial equity for participating artists looms large, with calls for the SABC to share a portion of the revenue generated from these competitions. Fans and artists alike will be watching closely as the clock ticks down to the final results.
