Mthethwa released a single in 2020 under a project called ‘Khaya Mthethwa and Oasis’, titled Mkhulumsebenzi. He said the collaboration was a long time coming. “Oasis is the name of the church my father started, the church I grew up in and now I’m the pastor. The people I sing with are a part of the worship team and this project is something I have always wanted to do, it was just about doing it at the right time. Now that I have taken over the church from my father, that time is now,” he said.
Mthethwa likened the new project to powerhouse gospel bands like Hillsong and the Planetshakers. “Hillsong is a church and that’s how they started off, but now they are one of the biggest gospel bands with an incredible brand, the Planetshakers. This is what I want to do with Oasis, I want to raise a strong African church.”
Speaking about the new single, Mthethwa said that he wrote it last year while fasting. “This song is actually like an anthem at our church, because we sing it so often. The song is a declaration that God is doing a great thing in our lives. It is based on Philippians 1:6 which says: ‘He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.’ For us it’s really a celebration song,” said the singer.
