Big Zulu Salutes Nkabi Nation As ‘S’yaz’ Siyizoni’ Hits Massive Milestone On SA Apple Music Chart. Big Zulu is celebrating another chart-topping moment, this time alongside rising vocalist Nkabakazi.
Their collaboration “S’yaz’ Siyizoni” has climbed to No. 1 on Apple Music’s Top 200 South Africa, lifting Nkabakazi’s new project Undodakazi into the national spotlight. Sharing the news with his supporters, Big Zulu beamed with gratitude: “Nkabi Nation siswele amagama okubonga… Siyabonga kakhulu.” He punctuated the moment with a classic Zulu adage, “ukwanda kwaliwa umthakathi,” a joyful reminder that only a witch would refuse growth.
The win comes amid fierce competition on the charts, where DJ Tira’s “Awungazi” and Thabza Tee’s “Khanda liya duma” are also surging. Yet “S’yaz’ Siyizoni” has cut through, buoyed by an emotive hook and Big Zulu’s unmistakable baritone presence. The title’s confessional tone signals the song’s heartbeat: a reflective, spiritually tinged plea that pairs intimate storytelling with a driving groove. It is the kind of blend that has long defined Big Zulu’s appeal, fusing township poetics with mainstream reach.
For Nkabakazi, the No. 1 is a statement-making arrival. Undodakazi translates to “daughter,” and the project’s framing nods to voice, identity, and legacy. That thematic arc sharpens the impact of “S’yaz’ Siyizoni,” where tender melodies carry a chorus that lingers long after the beat fades. Big Zulu’s verse extends the song’s emotional range, tempering vulnerability with resolve and anchoring the collaboration in lived experience.
Beyond the numbers, the moment underscores Big Zulu’s ongoing role as a cultural connector. The Nkabi Records founder has consistently opened lanes for new voices and fresh textures, and this collaboration with his daughter continues that pattern. Fans will recognise the same community-first ethos that powered earlier milestones, now channelled toward elevating a new generation while keeping isiZulu front and centre in popular music.
