The much anticipated video of Amanda Black’s hit single, Thandwa Ndim, debuts tomorrow , and the singer says it tackles the scourge of gender-based violence through the stories of women.
Talking to City Press at the Africa Creative Agency offices at Waterfall City on Wednesday, the 26-year-old singer-song writer said that it might surprise music lovers.
“The song is about self-love. I tell the story of a woman in an abusive relationship and goes through all the emotional cycles. She needs to leave but she doesn’t know how. She knows she has to leave but she doesn’t feel she is strong enough to leave,” she told City Press. Speaking about the song, Black said it was inspired by the way in which abuse had become the norm in South Africa, it inspired her to write a song that would empower women who found themselves in abusive relationships.
“The decision to move had always been at the back of my mind because I have been singing all my life. And my family has always encouraged it,” she said. Speaking about her Idols journey, Black told City Press: “I am a firm believer in things happening the way they are supposed to. Obviously at the time when I was voted off, I was heartbroken because I wanted to win.
