DJ Zinhle took to her social media to announce her latest collaboration with "Big Brother Mzansi: Umlilo" season 5 winner, Akhonamathemba "Sweet Guluva" Zwane. The highly anticipated song 'Sweet Guluva' is set to drop on June 6 and features vocal powerhouse Nokwazi, Ndloh and Sweet Guluva himself.
According to Zinhle, the collaboration was sparked by her admiration for Sweet Guluva and a trip down memory lane. The businesswoman and DJ previously shared that she went to school with his mother, Bongiwe Zwane.
She mentioned in a TikTok video that she spoke to the reality show winner's mother to discuss how she could support the rising star, and the idea of collaborating on a song emerged.
The song, which is already ready for release, is expected to be a huge hit.
Zinhle's expertise in crafting catchy yet meaningful songs and Sweet Guluva's charisma as well as following, are a winning combination.
But what is even more intriguing is the song's lyrics, which celebrate Sweet Guluva's journey as the 'Big Brother Mzansi' winner.

Sweet Guluva's time in the 'Big Brother Mzansi' house was nothing short of phenomenal.
He stole many hearts with his charming personality. When he was announced as the winner, thousands of fans, young and old, from all walks of life celebrated.
Sweet Guluva is a proud, easily likeable Zulu man. His charm and charisma have made him one of the most beloved contestants in the history of 'Big Brother Mzansi'.
The song's lyrics, which are sung in isiZulu, reflect this, describing him as someone who makes the whole world go wild.
'Umuntu onjani lona? Uhlanyisa umhlaba wonke madoda'
The lyrics ask, 'What type of person is this, who captured the hearts of so many?' A nod to how he won over the nation with his personality during his time in the 'Big Brother' house.
After walking away with the R2 million grand prize, Sweet Guluva opened up about his aspirations in an interview with 'Independent Media Lifestyle'
He shared that he wants to delve into every facet of media, and music was one of them, so this collaboration comes as no surprise.
Zinhle is no stranger to creating chart-topping hits and, with Sweet Guluva on board, this collaboration has the potential to dominate the airwaves.
However, not everyone is thrilled about the collaboration, particularly the chorus. Some fans have taken to social media to express their scepticism about the partnership, responding to Zinhle's post with mixed reactions.
