Musician Nathi Mankayi has pulled the heart strings of Mzansi with his latest single Ithemba

Musician Nathi Mankayi has pulled the heart strings of Mzansi with his latest single Ithemba. Nathi has been on a two-year hiatus from the music industry and is back with a bang.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, the Nomvula hitmaker said the song was inspired by the hope found in a Bible verse in the book of Second Chronicles, and was meant to reassure those who had lost a loved one during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I saw that as we were going through this difficult phase in our lives people were afraid, and as I was paging through my Bible and reading I saw the scripture and a thought came to my mind that this might be the solution to the problems we are facing.

“Sometimes we can say we are facing a disease but it’s because of the wrath of God so I took all of that and put it in a song because I want people to have that idea that I had or have that epiphany too. What we are facing doesn’t need a doctor, but it needs God.
