Paige & Msongi Release “Mbuyisele Ekhaya” – A Stirring Anthem Against Gender-Based Violence
South African vocal powerhouse Paige has teamed up with rising artist Msongi to release “Mbuyisele Ekhaya”, a moving and powerful new single that confronts the heartbreaking reality of gender-based violence (GBV). Translating to “Take Her Back Home” in isiZulu, the song is an emotional tribute to the countless women and girls who have gone missing, been abducted, or lost their lives to violence.
Rooted in pain but delivered with fierce resolve, “Mbuyisele Ekhaya” merges soulful harmonies, poignant lyrics, and African-inspired instrumentation. It’s more than a song—it’s a protest anthem, a call for justice, and a space for collective mourning. Paige and Msongi channel grief into strength, giving voice to those whose stories too often go unheard.
“This song is for every woman who didn’t make it back,” says Paige. “We’re done mourning in silence—this is our cry for change.” Msongi echoes this sentiment: “We created this to demand more than awareness—we want accountability and action.”
The single’s soundscape captures the emotional weight of its message with haunting melodies and deeply felt vocal performances. The fusion of traditional elements with modern production creates a sonic environment that feels at once personal and universal. The result is a stirring reflection on pain, remembrance, and the ongoing fight for women’s safety.
For Paige, the single marks yet another step in her evolution as an artist with purpose. Born in Mabopane and raised between Brits and Mafikeng, she initially pursued a law degree at the urging of her parents, even as her passion for music quietly grew. Her rise began in earnest in 2021 with Sdala B on the Ngiyazifela Ngawe EP, and her Zulu rendition of “Ghanama” became a viral sensation across streaming platforms.
Paige’s blend of vocal power, emotional depth, and lyrical authenticity has earned her a devoted following. In 2022, she graduated with a law degree, a testament to her resilience and determination. Now signed to Open Mic Productions, she continues to create music that not only entertains but uplifts and advocates.
Msongi, though newer to the scene, proves with “Mbuyisele Ekhaya” that she is a fearless voice unafraid to take on pressing social issues through music. Together, she and Paige are building something bigger than a song—they’re crafting a moment of reckoning and reflection.
“Mbuyisele Ekhaya” is now available on all major streaming platforms. It is a reminder, a plea, and a tribute to those who never returned home. Paige and Msongi have turned sorrow into a soulful demand for justice—and the message is clear: it’s time to listen.
