Maskandi and Social Change: How Artists Use Music to Address Issues

Maskandi music has long been a platform for addressing social and political issues within South African society. From apartheid to contemporary struggles, Maskandi artists use their music to speak on behalf of their communities.

Songs often discuss poverty, social inequality, love, and the importance of cultural identity.

Artists like Phuzekhemisi and Mshoza have written powerful songs that challenge societal norms and offer solutions to pressing issues.

The ability of Maskandi music to both entertain and educate has made it a valuable tool for social change. Through their lyrics, Maskandi artists give voice to those who might otherwise go unheard.
