Xongi Rhangani Proving To The World That She Is Not A One Hit Wonder

Xongi grew up in the dusty streets of Vuhehli Village in the Giyani area. She has done vocal backing for numerous singers and musicians, her voice stood out in most of the features she enjoyed and spoke volumes for her gift as a singer.

The ‘Munhu Wa Munhu’ hitmaker proved that she is not a one-hit wonder with the release of more albums just after her first full-length album, which was entitled Nyonga ya Mali.

Xongi, who entered the music industry as a solo artist in 2017, had started as a backing vocalist for numerous singers and musicians and only recorded and released her solo project after being encouraged by her ex-husband, Prince Rhangani.

“Nyonga ya Mali did very well in the market and I had to keep on pressing forward since there was no looking back. So, I recorded and released another album last year, which was entitled Vafelakazi.”

Vafelakazi was an instant success in the market. Xongi was seen as the new princess of Xitsonga Traditional music who had brought a breath of fresh air to the industry. Her music was being played everywhere – in homes, at taxi ranks, and on street corners.

“I had gained the kind of popularity that amazes me, but I know it is all because of the talent that God had invested in me,” she said.

Her album ‘Munhu Wa Munhu’ made her break many records within the South African Music Industry. Her popularity grew, fans bought her music and she is still found in majority of the Gigs in Limpopo and Gauteng among other Provinces.

“It has all been amazing. I love my fans; they also love me.” Says Xongi.

Xongi is one of the best Xitsonga singers currently enjoying the limelight and the opportunities of being booked by most event organisers in the country.

She is dropping her latest album this August titled ‘Timhaka-Mhaka’.
