South African singer MaWhoo has released “Umona,” a collaborative single with DJ Veek, Criimora b.k.z and ChildDaDJ, featuring Sykes. The track landed on Thursday, 28 August 2025, and arrives as part of MaWhoo’s new project, Amazwi Okubonga. An official audio upload went live on YouTube alongside the digital release, with the single clocking in at 6 minutes and 37 seconds. Early listings credit the release to MaWhoo Entertainment.
“Umona” pulls together a familiar circle of studio partners around MaWhoo’s lead vocal. According to platform credits, Thandeka Ngema (MaWhoo) is credited as a songwriter, with DJ Veek and ChildDaDJ handling production duties. The song teams MaWhoo’s soulful topline with Sykes’s guest passages, while Criimora b.k.z and ChildDaDJ anchor the record with club-minded momentum.
The drop continues a busy year for MaWhoo, who has been teasing Amazwi Okubonga across her social channels in recent weeks. A preview reel flagged “Umona” as a highlight from the set, building anticipation before the arrival of the full track. The single’s release on major streaming services and YouTube gives fans across territories immediate access while the broader project rolls out.
Early listener chatter frames “Umona” as a late-winter anthem built for dance floors and weekend playlists, fusing plush vocal harmonies with rhythmic low-end swells and roomy percussion. With a multi-artist credit line and an accessible running time for DJ sets, the record is engineered for club rotation and radio support.
“Umona” is out now on leading platforms, including Apple Music, with the YouTube audio serving as the first official asset. As the Amazwi Okubonga campaign unfolds, watch for additional visuals and performances to follow, alongside potential remixes from the collaborators’ extended circles. For now, the single sets the tone for MaWhoo’s next chapter with confidence.
