Real name Yolanda Nyembezi, Yallunder passed away in March this year after a short illness at Johannesburg's Charlotte Maxeke Hospital. She was 30 years old.
'Her journey was one of unwavering strength. And even in her most vulnerable moments, she remained a beacon of love, kindness and artistry. She was an artist whose talent was as undeniable as her passion for music,' said her family in a statement.
'Ah, you know what. Life is not fair. Imagine, this was the last time I saw her, after recording this record. We lost…RIP my sister,' Oskido said.
The upbeat version of Ntwana Yam was released in late 2023 and was part of Oskido's album, Legend Live.
'But tell you what, I'm going to include this on the album which is dropping on the sixth, the Next Gen,' shared Oskido.

Motivational Oskido
The song Oskido did with Yallunder is inspirational in its lyrics. Yallunder sings about someone who is persistent about achieving their dreams.
In another video, with the acoustic version of Ntwana Yam in the background, Oskido, the businessman and music producer, shared sage words with his followers about not giving up.
'Everyone wants the dream, but not everyone wants the discipline that comes with it. Some, want it only on a silver plate. Some days it's hard, you don't see the progress, you question if it's working, but that's part of the process,' said Oskido.
'You don't grown by waiting for motivation, you grow by showing up even when you are tired, even when no one is watching. Don't quit on your 10th step when your breakthrough is on the 11th. Stay consistent with your dream and keep going.'
