MBABANE – South African Afro- pop sensation, Blaq Diamond, is lined up for the Umuthi Fest at Mavuso Exhibition Centre on October 18, 2025. 

Blaq Diamond, a duo comprising Ndumiso Mdletshe and Sphelele Dunywa from Ladysmith, KwaZulu‑Natal, have risen to fame since launching under Ambitiouz Entertainment in 2017 where they debuted with their album, Inqola.

Over the years, their track Ibhanoyi earned the prestigious SAMA Record of the Year while in 2020 they released their sophomore album, Umuthi.

Lately, the Zulu Romance (2024), further solidified their signature Afro‑Pop, Maskandi, and isicathamiya‑infused sound for them to enjoy the loyal fanbase.
