The two-man band has not released new material since 2009 citing the surge of piracy, which they said rendered albums non-profitable. But the Johannesburg-based duo appears to have had a change of heart.
“We are preparing to launch a new album on August 12 in Lupane,” said a statement, which also put paid to rumours that a split was imminent.
Appealing for fans to buy original CDs, Ndlolwane said they were planning similar shows around the country during August.
Formed in South Africa in 1993, but with its roots in Plumtree, Ndolwane is arguably the most popular Zimbabwe rhumba outfit in that country and in Matabeleland.
Of their many albums, the controversial Hluphile got the most airplay and was banned in some parts of Zimbabwe as being ‘too political.’
A reproduction of their pivotal Africa, released in 1997, was used by South African Broadcasting Corporation to unite the continent ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
