With a career that spans nearly two decades, Hlengiwe Mhlaba remains one of South Africa’s most celebrated gospel voices. Born in KwaMashu, KwaZulu-Natal in 1973, she first found her musical footing with the Pongola Gospel Wagon while teaching maths and science. Her breakthrough came when renowned gospel promoter Sipho Makhabane discovered her and signed her to Amanxusa Productions.

Since then, Mhlaba has continually evolved, pushing the boundaries of traditional gospel with her distinctive fusion of the sacred and the contemporary. Albums like Blessings and Sthandwa Sami (Moy’ Ongcwele) earned her both critical acclaim and industry recognition, including a South African Music Awards nomination and admiration for her bold sonic experimentation.

But more than accolades, Hlengiwe Mhlaba’s legacy lies in her ability to move souls. Whether singing in English or Zulu, with a backing choir or a single piano, she commands attention — not with theatrics, but with sincerity.

Relentless Worship is a gift to the faithful. It reminds us that worship is not a moment, but a lifestyle — an unbroken conversation with the divine. In this offering, Mhlaba invites listeners not just to hear, but to feel and to participate.

The album is now available on all major streaming platforms. Let it play. Let it minister. Let it move you.
