Mhlongo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Metro FM weekend breakfast presenter Zola Mhlongo has made her official entry into the music scene with the launch of her first single, <em>Vuka.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Released in mid-January 2026, the song demonstrates Zola&#8217;s commitment to being recognized as a serious artist, moving beyond her well-known presence on radio.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vuka,<\/em> which translates to &#8220;wake up&#8221; in isiZulu, is a deeply personal piece that reflects a time of emotional reflection and struggle.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Daily Sun, Zola shared that the track serves as a personal reminder she crafted during a challenging period when self-confidence was hard to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>She elaborated that the song acts as a call to overcome doubt, acknowledge one&#8217;s value, and persist through life\u2019s difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Combining elements of Afro-soul with heartfelt, uplifting lyrics, Vuka conveys a theme of resilience and renewal.<\/p>\n<p>Zola mentioned that recording the track was an emotional journey, as she infused genuine experiences into both its lyrics and her performance.<\/p>\n<p>She aims for the audience to experience the same sense of encouragement from the song that she felt during its creation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her busy schedule at one of South Africa&#8217;s leading radio stations, Zola noted that pursuing music seemed like a seamless part of her mission.<\/p>\n<p>Both hosting and singing allow her to connect with individuals and promote positivity, she explained.<\/p>\n<p>The timing for releasing her music now reflects her readiness to share this aspect of herself, both emotionally and creatively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-137378592\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async
