Malunde, the December smash hit from 031Choppa, Shakes & Les and Zee Nxumalo, featuring Springle, has been a dominant force on dance floors, playlists, and TikTok since its release. Now, fans can finally immerse themselves in the highly anticipated music video — a vibrant visual that captures the song’s infectious groove and pays homage to South Africa’s nightlife culture.
A Visual Journey Through the Groove
The Malunde music video transports viewers from the spirited township streets of Soweto — grounding the story in authentic lived experiences — to the electric energy of Johannesburg’s CBD, where “groovists” unite in a celebration of music, dance, and life.
Directed by Young Matee and his team, the production balanced creativity with precision.
“Working with them is refreshing. They’re always open to trying new things, but they don’t play when it comes to wasting time.”

Special Cameos & Cinematic Moments
The video features a memorable cameo from comedian Abuti Lolo, appearing as a news reporter within the storyline. An unplanned weather shift during rooftop scenes in Jozi created a cinematic, almost movie-like moment — cold, raw, and breathtaking.
From Viral Hit to Visual Storytelling
“This is our hit song. It’s gone viral on TikTok and continues to perform well across all digital platforms. The studio camp where we created it was full of vibes and liquor — artists were creatively off balance and the energy felt like groove itself.”
the team says
The decision to release the video now, after the December flood of music drops, was intentional — giving Malunde’s visuals the spotlight they deserve. Anticipation had been building, and the release arrives at just the right moment.
Acknowledgements
The team credits SLB Entertainment and Rap Academy for organising the studio camp, alongside thanks to management, stylists, makeup artists, dancers, and everyone who helped bring the vision to life. Special recognition also goes to Matee, Kokota Afrika, and supporters who contributed to the project’s success.
What’s Next
Fans can expect more from the Malunde movement, with a tour in the works, a collaborative EP, and more singles on the horizon.
“We hope the video gives audiences a clear picture of how the song came about and what it means from the storyline,”.
