MAUMELA AKA SUSAN FROM ‘MUVHANGO’ EXPLAINS VIRAL VIDEO
According to the actress and singer, the song titled, I Believe, was actually released in 2016. Speaking to TshisaLIVE about the viral clip, she said that she was shocked that it is only gaining traction now.
“If I remember correctly, the song was done six years ago, and I think the video we did was a quick thing. I wanted to release a single, so I thought that would be the best song to release first before I release my album. Then I went on to release another one called Yahweh a year later and that after I released an album, so I think the inspiration was ‘let’s motivate people’.”
– Maumela said
She further highlighted that singing came before her acting career and she feels the video may have emerged because Muvhango viewers are curious about Susan.
