Dominica Mthombeni Embraces African Traditional Gospel With New Release “Walenga”
Dominica Mthombeni Embraces African Traditional Gospel With New Release “Walenga.” Dominica Mthombeni is ushering listeners into a new season of worship with the release of her latest single, Walenga, a stirring African traditional gospel anthem inspired by prayer, faith, and the finished work of Christ.
The South African gospel singer officially released the highly anticipated track on Friday, offering a song that celebrates redemption, victory, and the life-changing power of the cross. Describing Walenga as “a beautiful song of praise, recognising the great work Jesus did on the cross,” Mthombeni said the song is a declaration that believers have been redeemed, saved, and rescued from death through Jesus Christ.
The journey to creating Walenga was one she never expected.
After releasing her previous single “Your Presence,” Mthombeni recalled being challenged by her producer to make her next release lean more toward African traditional gospel. The request initially left her unsettled because none of the songs she had written reflected that sound.
Instead of forcing the process, she turned to prayer.
According to the singer, God placed several melodies in her heart, which she later combined into one composition. Those individual musical ideas eventually became Walenga, allowing her to embrace a style that honours both her Christian faith and the rich heritage of African traditional gospel music.
The story behind the song reflects the message it carries. What began as uncertainty evolved into a testimony of divine inspiration, resulting in a worship anthem that blends heartfelt praise with vibrant African musical influences.
In the weeks leading up to its release, Mthombeni offered fans glimpses of the song through social media teasers, encouraging supporters to pre-save the single. The previews generated excitement among gospel music lovers, with many praising the song’s uplifting message and distinctive sound.
Walenga also marks another milestone in Mthombeni’s growing ministry through music. Known for creating songs rooted in Scripture and personal devotion, she continues to use her platform to point listeners toward hope, healing, and the saving grace of Christ.
Now available on major streaming platforms, Walenga invites listeners into a worship experience that celebrates the cross’s victory while embracing the timeless beauty of African traditional gospel.
Rather than chasing musical trends, Dominica Mthombeni has delivered a song born out of prayer, obedience, and trust, proving once again that some of the most impactful worship songs begin with surrender before they ever reach the studio.
