The First Lady of Nkabi Nation, Lwah Ndlunkulu, continues to shine, securing two prestigious awards at the 2024 Basadi Awards. This time, she walked away with the titles of Most Streamed Song and Artist of the Year, further cementing her place as one of the most influential voices in the South African music industry. These wins add to an already impressive year for the KwaZulu-Natal-born singer, who earlier claimed the Metro FM Artist of the Year award. Lwah’s journey from a passionate young girl to an industry powerhouse has been nothing short of remarkable. Her ability to connect with audiences through her powerful voice and heartfelt lyrics has earned her widespread recognition and admiration.
The timing of this victory couldn’t be more perfect, as Lwah recently dropped the deluxe edition of her acclaimed album, Imizwa, on 9th August. This release serves as a tribute to the resilient women (imbokodo) who relentlessly pursue their dreams, reflecting Lwah’s commitment to empowering and inspiring others through her music.
In her acceptance speech, Lwah Ndlunkulu expressed her deep gratitude: “Ngiyabonga kakhulu kwabalandeli bam, kusho okhulu ukuthi nisaxasa umculo wam. Ngithanda nokubonga kwiBasadi for nominating me, nako konke lenhlangano eyenzala thina bantu besifazana. Happy Women’s Month kuzo zonke imbokodo!!”
Her PR Manager echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the significance of the win: “Thank you to everyone who voted for Lwah. This achievement is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and perseverance. It is inspiring to see how far she has come, serving as a role model for young girls with similar dreams.”
As Lwah Ndlunkulu’s star continues to rise, these awards are a testament to her impact on the music industry and a promising sign of even greater things to come. Her journey is one to watch, as she continues to break barriers and inspire a new generation of artists.
