Sjava and guests at his album launch in Johannesburg. Pictures: Supplied and Nigel Sibanda Sjava offered fans a unique listening experienceat the launch of his new album, Inkanyezi Nezinkanyezi, on Wednesday. The event was held at the Anglo American Wits Dome, where guests sat beneath a planetarium dome and listened to the album as a visual astronomy show played above them.
The album is set for release on Friday, 30 January 2026. Speaking about the launch, Sjava said the concept, created by his team, gave him a new perspective on some of the songs. He added, “It really hit different for me, especially on the songUmdumise, because the song says God works in mysterious ways.
Looking at the moon, the stars, and all that, it reminded me of how God is such a great designer.” Several of Sjava’s music colleagues attended the launch to show support. Celebrity guests included Emtee, Anatii, Big Zulu, Lwa Ndlunkulu, Siya Ntuli, LaSauce, Saudi, and other artists from Nkabi Nation, Emtee Records, and 1020 Cartel. Inkanyezi Nezinkanyezi follows Sjava’s 2025 live EPs,InkanyeziandInkanyezi 2.0.

Sjava said most of the songs in the album were written and recorded in the studio before the live EPs were released. “What makes this project special is the way we rolled it out. I wanted to try a different approach, one that allowed me to engage my fans more intimately than before, so I thought, ‘let me teach them the songs before I release them,” Sjava said.
