Sjava’s “Eweni” Joins Elite List of His Most-Streamed Songs. South African music heavyweight Sjava continues to prove that longevity and authenticity still win in the digital era. His emotionally rich single Eweni has officially crossed the 7 million streams mark on Spotify, adding yet another accolade to his decorated catalogue.
The milestone was highlighted by music analytics platform The Table Chart, which confirmed that “Eweni” is now the 11th track in Sjava’s career to surpass the seven-million-stream threshold.
Originally released in 2018 as part of his acclaimed album Umqhele, the song features Anzo and Mzukulu. Together, they crafted a powerful blend of Afro-soul, hip-hop textures and traditional influences that continues to resonate deeply with listeners.
“Eweni” draws its emotional weight from themes of heritage, hardship and perseverance. The metaphor of falling into the “eweni,” symbolising a place of struggle or spiritual testing, gives the track its haunting depth. It is that vulnerability, paired with Sjava’s unmistakable vocal delivery, that has allowed the song to age gracefully and steadily accumulate streams years after its release.
The record now joins an elite group of Sjava songs that have each surpassed seven million streams:
- Uthando
- Abangani
- Seasons
- Uvalo
- Egoli
- Sayona
- Ngempela
- Amafu
- Umcebo
- Typhoon
Collectively, these tracks represent the heartbeat of Sjava’s most enduring work. They reflect a career built not on fleeting trends, but on storytelling that feels personal and culturally grounded.
With more than 1.3 million monthly listeners on Spotify and hundreds of millions of cumulative streams across platforms, Sjava, born Jabulani Makhubo-Hadebe, continues to shape the soundscape of South African Afro-soul and hip-hop.
“Eweni” reaching seven million streams is more than just a number. It is a reminder that music rooted in truth travels far and lasts long. Another milestone secured, and the crown remains firmly in place.
