After ending 2023 with his well-received album, Baba Yaga, De Mthuda shared his first release of the new year: the new music video for Baba Yaga’s lead single, Muntu Wam. With Valentine’s Day approaching, it’s fair to say that romance is in the air and nobody has captured the mood better than De Mthuda on his latest music video. Muntu Wam has already scorched the digital charts since Baba Yaga’s release, reaching 630,000 streams on Spotify and nearly 150,000 on YouTube in less than a month.

The video sees De Mthuda whisking his bae to a beautiful private villa as he professes his love with a series of romantic gestures. While this story unfolds, viewers are treated to collaborators, Sino Msolo and Murumba Pitch’s appearance on site. Muntu Wam is directed by Big Shark, who brings a cinematic touch to each scene – adding to the sense of romance in the story on-screen. The video also does a great job of showcasing the beauty of local travel in South Africa and is complemented by a vibrant and colourful wardrobe.
