Where the heck was Sykes? Rumour mill spinning wildly

Hawu mara, y'all! It's been a hot minute since that epic The Most Wanted launch at The Garden Venue Hotel in Randburg on September 18, and Shwashwi's still buzzing from the vibes, but now the whispers are turning into full-on gossip sessions.

Picture this: the place was popping with Thulani Way, Mthunzi, Leroy Khoza, and the rest of the Afro-house squad, fairy lights glowing, choir harmonies hitting spiritual notes, and JAZZWRLD (formerly Jazzworx, don't lose sleep over the rebrand) and Thukuthela owning the stage like kings.

Plaques gleaming for those multi-platinum bangers - Uzizwa Kanjan at 4x, the rest at platinum - and the album dropping surprise-style, right there in the heat of the night. The Most Wanted is fire, blending Afro-tech grooves with soul that slaps harder than a Jozi taxi hooter, and tracks like iNgoma Yomthandazo, featuring GL Ceejay, had us all in a trance.
