Video: Nomakhosini – Angisafuni Ngami ft. Mnqobi Yazo

“Angisafuni Ngami,” which translates to “You don’t want me anymore” in isiZulu, is an emotionally charged Afro-pop ballad by Nomakhosini, who features Mnqobi Yazo. The song delves into emotional abandonment, the sorrow of unrequited love, and the anguish of discovering a partner has moved on or lost affection. The two artists express a profound sense of yearning and resigned sorrow, giving expression to an unrequited relationship in which one individual persists in holding onto hope despite being unloved.

South African singers Nomakhosini and Aymos recently appeared on Umusa.

The official music video features warm tones and an intimate visual style that draws viewers into the emotional centre of the song. Intimate shots of Nomakhosini and Mnqobi Yazo highlight their expressive performances – each glance, tear, and subtle movement amplifies the song’s emotional depth. Soft, subtle lighting and subdued backgrounds create a setting where the emotional delivery of the vocals takes centre stage.

The music production is subtle yet moving, primarily built around piano chords, soft percussion, and rich harmonies. Nomakhosini’s voice conveys a sense of emotional sincerity, and Mnqobi Yazo’s soulful performance heightens the heartfelt emotional intensity. The interplay between their vocals brings about a poignant dialogue of reflection and loss.

The lyrical narrative takes the form of a poetic dialogue between two hearts, with Nomakhosini’s verses seeking recognition (“Why don’t you want me anymore?”), and Mnqobi Yazo’s response being a melancholic emotional echo. The repetition of the central question is what gives the song its emotional foundation, making it deeply relatable.
