"Ohema", sisterhood, and industry pressure: Jamali’s raw reunion!

The queens of South African pop are back to reclaim their crown! On this exclusive, nostalgic edition of Afternoons with Zweli, legendary girl group Jamali Jacqui, Liesl, and Mariechan stop by the studio for a raw, open, and emotional reunion tell-all. The trio takes us back to where it all began on Popstars in 2003, reflecting on their historic rise to fame, their massive hit singles, and the tough realities that eventually led to their hiatus. They open up about their years apart, pursuing solo projects, and how their underlying sisterhood ultimately pulled them back together for this powerful new chapter. Plus, the ladies break down their electrifying comeback single, "Ohema" an Afrobeat-infused track that seamlessly blends their signature harmonies with a fresh, contemporary sound. They also reflect on how the South African music industry has evolved, navigating social media, and staying true to their artistic identity.
