After a four-year break from music, well-known singer, actor, businesswoman, and sangoma (traditional healer), Letoya Makhene is about to unleash her eagerly awaited single.
The former Generations: The Legacy actress returned to the studio after her messy break-up with her ex-partner Lebo Keswa to record her single, Abantu.
Nethe of Nethe Global Effect, a multi-award-winning musician and record label owner, wrote and co-produced the song.
Letoya said the song is a raw and honest reflection of her life that she is nervous and excited to share with the world.
“People would probably be pleasantly surprised since I had to truly let go and give myself permission to experience a wide range of feelings that I had been holding inside for far too long.

“I offer folks a window into my existence and universe through the music,” she said in reference to her new song.
She continued by saying that maskandi’s backing vocals give the song a sensual undertone and a distinctly 1980s vibe.
“The Afro-soul song, Abantu, which has a distinct 80s vibe and sensual undertones from maskandi backing vocals, sets the standard for what to anticipate from Letoya going forward as she embarks on a new style and journey.”
Healing the nation
Letoya is a very talented musician who has the natural ability to put her soul into everything she does, according to her record label Nethe.
“Without a doubt, Abantu will help a lot of people heal, and we will undoubtedly change a lot of lives with this song,” said Nethe.
The single will be available on all music platforms from midnight on Friday.
Keswa, meanwhile, has revealed that she will be starting a podcast in which she will discuss the specifics of her relationship with Letoya.
It is anticipated that her podcast will launch on October 17.
