There is a sizeable collaborative line-up behind “Ithuba”, as Dlala Thukzin works with Tribe of Afro, Sykes and Mpho.wav on the third track of Ember. The album was released on October 30, 2026, under Dlala Records, with this particular record running for close to six minutes.
Ithuba is a Zulu word commonly translated as opportunity or chance, giving the title a meaning rooted in the language of the artist’s home country. The combination of Tribe of Afro, Sykes and Mpho.wav also makes this one of the album’s more populated collaborations, bringing several credited acts together on a single production.
Thukzin’s background is firmly connected to Durban’s electronic music culture. Born Thuthuka Wandile Zindlovu in Lamontville, he gained wider recognition through production work for Babes Wodumo before developing his own catalogue across gqom, Afro-house, amapiano and the 3-step sound.
His previous successes include “Phuze”, “iPlan” and “Ama Gear”, while Finally Famous Too earned Best Dance Album at the 2025 South African Music Awards. The collaboration on this album gives Tribe of Afro, Sykes and Mpho.wav a shared place within his latest body of work.
