Snqobile Mzelemu, the daughter of the late South African gospel star Sfiso Ncwane, has made an emotional appeal for financial support to release a tribute song in honor of her father. The song, titled *“Hamba Kahle”*, holds significant meaning for Snqobile as it represents her journey toward finding closure after the untimely passing of her father in December 2016. With the anniversary of Sfiso’s birthday approaching, Snqobile is eager to launch the song but is currently facing financial hurdles that prevent her from completing the project.
In a heartfelt interview with *People’s Paper*, Snqobile opened up about the deep emotional connection behind the tribute and her personal reasons for creating it. “I know that he loved me. I loved him too, but we never got a chance to bond. Now that I am older, I decided to write this song for him to show how much I loved and needed him,” she shared. The songwriting process, she revealed, has been a therapeutic experience for her, allowing her to process her grief and the unresolved feelings she harbored following her father’s death
Sfiso Ncwane was a monumental figure in the South African gospel music industry, known for hits like *“Kulungile Baba”*, which became an anthem for many during difficult times. His passing left a deep void not only in the music world but also in the lives of those who were close to him. For Snqobile, the song serves as a way to pay tribute to the father she never fully got to know, while also honoring his legacy in the music industry.
Initially, Snqobile was optimistic about the project and had planned to release *“Hamba Kahle”* in April. The recording process went well, and she was pleased with the progress. However, after exhausting all her resources on the recording, Snqobile now finds herself in need of additional funds to complete the project. The costs of the song’s cover, a photoshoot, makeup, and other promotional activities have created a roadblock, preventing her from moving forward. Determined to see her tribute come to life, she has turned to the public for assistance in raising the necessary funds to complete and release the song.
In addition to her plea for support, Snqobile emphasized the importance of the song not only as a tribute to her father but also as a personal healing tool. She hopes that by sharing this tribute, others who have experienced loss might find comfort in her story and the message of the song.
Snqobile’s story, combined with other developments in South Africa’s entertainment world, highlights the diverse and dynamic nature of the country’s celebrity scene. From heartfelt tributes to viral weddings, South Africa continues to produce stories that captivate audiences both locally and internationally.R
