Despite the mundane tasks of day-to-day life, his mind is elsewhere—firmly rooted in the spiritual and creative space where Iladi had been born. “This is a season where all these gifts are amplified, and I can see the support that one has been getting and accolades — appreciating how the process of this journey has been unfolding in a positive way. Now it is the time for me to just stop and be thankful,” Sikhakhane says.
The first track, iGosa, translates to “leader” in isiZulu. This is a significant choice, as in traditional ceremonies, acknowledging and honouring the leaders — both living and ancestral — marks the beginning of the proceedings. The ritual included traditional beer, food, and sometimes the symbolic act of slaughtering a chicken or goat, which would be shared the next day.
