Zim: Everton Mlalazi shares new gospel single ‘Tiri vana vaMambo’

The song, whose title translates as “We Are Children of the King”, focuses on the concept of spiritual inheritance and encourages believers to draw confidence and hope from their faith despite life's challenges.

Built around contemporary gospel arrangements and African worship influences, the single highlights the belief that personal identity is rooted in faith rather than circumstances. The song's lyrics emphasise resilience, assurance and a sense of belonging among worshippers.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the release, Mlalazi said the message was intended to remind listeners of their spiritual identity.

“I chose this hymn because we all need to be reminded of who we are in God,” he said.

“No matter where we are or what we may be facing, we are children of the Almighty King. That truth gives us hope, strength and purpose. To see leaders and influencers across South Africa embrace this message and share it with their communities has been a great blessing. This is not just a song, it is a prayer, a comfort, and a hymn for every heart.”

The release follows a period of increased visibility for the artist, whose recent music has been performed and shared within churches, faith-based gatherings and radio platforms across Southern Africa.

Unlike some of his previous releases, which focused on themes such as restoration and reflection, ‘Tiri vana vaMambo’ adopts a more declarative approach, presenting a collective affirmation of faith and spiritual identity.

The song is designed for both personal worship and congregational settings, with its message aimed at encouraging unity among believers through a shared expression of faith.

Mlalazi is regarded as one of Zimbabwe’s prominent gospel musicians and has built a following across the region through music that addresses themes of worship, hope and spiritual encouragement.
