This Easter season, acclaimed South African artist Relebogile Mabotja unveils Mmamagoai’s Prayer, a deeply personal new single, a moving medley of beloved gospel songs and spiritual hymns that honour both faith and family. Mmamogoai’s Prayer (Medley of Hymns) is Jehovah Re Tshepile Wena, Maatla sona, Holokile, Lion of Judah, Amen.
Following the release of Still Me – Live in February 2026, the live recording marked a defining moment in Relebogile’s musical journey. Mmamagoai’s Prayer sits at the emotional core of this body of work. Inspired by the songs her grandmother used to hum in the kitchen, the medley is both a tribute and a return to the origins of her musical identity. These are the sounds that shaped her understanding of faith, family and storytelling, now reimagined through a live lens that carries both nostalgia and reverence.
“Mmamogoai’s Prayer is a sacred tribute to my late grandmother and the spiritual foundation she instilled in me. The song weaves together hymns and gospel melodies that shaped my earliest musical memories, honouring our shared love for faith and song. It is a moment of gratitude, remembrance, and surrender — acknowledging the role of God, ancestry, and prayer in my life and journey.” says Mabotja.
With this release, Relebogile Mabotja continues to affirm her commitment to creating music with intention and integrity. While her career across broadcasting, production and entertainment continues to flourish, this chapter reinforces that music is no longer a quiet passion kept in the background, but an integral part of her evolving creative expression.
“This project is incredibly close to my heart because it takes me back to where my love for music truly began. The church has always been more than a place of worship for me, it is where family, faith and music meet in the most meaningful way. Growing up, Easter was a time when those connections felt even stronger, especially through the songs my grandmother would sing so effortlessly. Recording this medley felt like sitting with her again, honouring her spirit and everything she passed down to me. It is a reminder that music carries memory, and that those we love never really leave us. Through this song, I hope people reconnect with their own stories, their families and their faith.”
The Easter single is available as part of Still Me – Live across all major streaming platforms.
