Gospel artist, worshipper, and songwriter Boni Maleke takes a defining step forward with the release of her latest EP, Umhlengi Wami. The four-track project marks a significant milestone in her journey, positioning her firmly within South Africa’s mainstream gospel music space.

After steadily building her career over the past five years, Boni now emerges with a body of work that reflects spiritual depth, artistic maturity, and a distinctly authentic South African sound. Umhlengi Wami blends soulful melodies, heartfelt worship, and traditional Itende influences, creating a spiritually uplifting experience rooted in faith and cultural expression.

The EP features four tracks—Umhlengi Wami, E Sehlabelo Saka, Baba Wethu, and Shout Hallelujah—each offering a unique expression of praise, gratitude, and devotion. Together, they form a cohesive worship journey that speaks to healing, hope, and spiritual renewal.

Her expanding catalogue includes My Offering (2021), An Attitude of Gratitude – Live Recording (2022), Grace Imparted – Live Recording (2025), and the forthcoming The Cross – Live Recording set for release in 2026.

Her dedication to excellence has earned recognition from leading gospel platforms, including the Crown Gospel Awards, Mpumalanga Gospel Awards, Independent National Gospel Awards (INGOMA), and the Free State Gospel Awards. Among her career highlights are winning Best Live Recorded DVD in 2023 and Best Single in 2025.

Recent releases such as Igazi likaJesu, Kungumusa, and now Umhlengi Wami reflect Boni’s continued growth as a worship leader whose songwriting draws directly from scripture. Her music centres on authentic worship, spiritual healing, and encouragement for believers.

Reflecting on the EP, Boni shares that Umhlengi Wami is a reflection of her journey of faith and gratitude, created with the prayer that it will bring healing, hope, and a deeper connection with God to all who listen.

With this release, Boni Maleke steps confidently into a new season, poised to make a lasting impact within South Africa’s gospel music landscape. Umhlengi Wami is now available on all major digital music platforms.
