Thulani Malevu Answers the Ancestral Call with Debut EP: Ubizo – The Calling
“Each song is a ritual. A remembering. A return.” With these stirring words, South African singer, songwriter, and spiritual storyteller Thulani Malevu unveils his long-awaited debut project, Ubizo – The Calling — a deeply personal and sacred body of work that transcends music as we know it.
Born out of a season of rupture, awakening, and divine alignment, Ubizo is not crafted for trends or fleeting moments. It is ritual. It is remembrance. It is a return to purpose. Each track is designed as a spiritual portal, inviting listeners to connect with ancestral wisdom and embrace healing through sound.
“Ubizo is not just music — it’s a spiritual document. It’s a call to remembrance. A call to rise. A call to return to our roots, our power, our truth.”
says Malevu

Beyond the Music
In support of the project, Malevu will bring Ubizo the Show to life — an immersive live experience blending song, storytelling, and ancestral wisdom. Far from mere entertainment, it serves as a collective ritual of healing, remembrance, and spirit-led reflection.
His work extends beyond music. In 2024, Malevu launched the Thulani Malevu Foundation, which supports learners at his alma mater, Isizinda Secondary School. The foundation provides school uniforms and mentorship for young boys and girls, nurturing them to dream beyond circumstance.
He is also preparing for the release of his debut memoir, Indaba Yami – My Story of Remembering, a reflective account of his life journey, lessons, and spiritual awakening.
