GUEST: PHINDA MTYA-MATLALA

After a decade-long hiatus, the celebrated South African musician Phinda Mtya-Matlala is poised to make a powerful comeback with the launch of her new EP, 10 YEARS - A DECADE, on February 28, 2025, at The Market Theatre in Johannesburg. This highly anticipated event marks not only the release of her latest work but also a poignant tribute to the transformative journey she has undergone since the passing of her husband.

Phinda’s absence from the music scene for the past ten years has been deeply felt by her fans and the broader artistic community. Her husband’s untimely departure in 2015 left a profound impact on her life, prompting her to step back and reassess her artistic vision and personal identity. During this period, Phinda engaged in profound introspection, channelling her grief into creative expression that would eventually culminate in her new EP.
