Meanwhile, Zakes Bantwini is not messing about with his intentions to retire, as seen by the announcement of his final studio album, Abantu.
The initial announcement of the musician’s retirement took place late last year, and he has had a phenomenal music career in recent months.
At his 40th birthday party, which he hosted recently, Zakes discussed the project and mentioned that it will be released in November.
“Abantu is about working together towards unity that transcends social class through music and language because it does not see geographical location, race, age, gender, or political views.”
