South African artist Fixer Myeni explores the emotional side of Afro Soul and Maskandi on “Ungangishiyi,” a collaboration featuring Gqibu. The title, which translates to “Don’t leave me,” immediately gives the record a vulnerable and heartfelt direction.
Released on August 10, 2026, the song forms part of Fixer Myeni’s studio album Ngikhule ngokusokola Mina. Rather than leaning solely on traditional Maskandi elements, the record blends its cultural foundation with a softer Afro Soul feel, creating room for the vocals and emotional message to take centre stage.
Gqibu adds another layer to the performance, helping the collaboration feel natural and emotionally connected. Together, the two artists deliver a song built around vulnerability, attachment, and the fear of losing someone important.
“Ungangishiyi” adds a more intimate dimension to Ngikhule ngokusokola Mina and gives listeners a chance to experience Fixer Myeni’s expressive side. For anyone drawn to soulful South African music with heartfelt storytelling, this track is worth a listen.
