MVUTJINI – A cultural wake-up call from the heart of Eswatini.
Rising music sensation Majaha Ginindza, popularly known as Histo, has officially released the highly anticipated visuals for his stirring single ‘Makoti Longeva’ — and it’s more than just a music video. It’s a bold commentary on shifting cultural dynamics within modern African households.
The track features a powerful lineup of Swati talent including M Nation, Cool Drop, Young Zesh, and DJ Citie. Together, they deliver a gripping portrayal of the tensions between tradition and contemporary expectations in romantic and family relationships.
Set against a stunning mix of traditional Swati settings and modern visual aesthetics, the music video tells the story of a man who finds himself at odds with his new bride, whose values seemingly clash with those of respect, family unity, and cultural decorum. The narrative unpacks real social struggles that many couples face, shining a light on generational misunderstandings and the erosion of once-sacred customs.
“‘Makoti Longeva’ is not just about music. It’s about restoring the respect our homes once held,” says Histo.
Visually captivating and emotionally charged, the video bridges the gap between past and present, evoking nostalgia while encouraging difficult but necessary conversations. The song’s rhythm, combined with soulful lyricism and compelling visuals, creates a deeply resonant experience for audiences across generations.
More than a hit single, ‘Makoti Longeva’ is a movement — a call for introspection and a return to values that once held families together.
Whether you’re drawn in by the beat, the message, or the production quality, ‘Makoti Longeva’ is one video you cannot afford to miss.
