Featuring Chambers Musiq, the track delves into critical societal issues deeply embedded in Setswana culture, addressing the disturbing reality of incest and gender-based violence. Kgang tsa ga malome is the second single release under 'Cultural Music Genre” in 2024. The first single release in 2024 was called Tlhogo Ya Podi. In an exclusive interview, Maxy Khoisan shared the inspiration behind her thought-provoking song. The phrase ‘setlogolo ntsha ditlhogo,’ which is central to the song’s message, has traditionally been associated with the grim practice of an uncle demanding sexual favors from his niece as a form of repayment for raising her. Maxy Khoisan’s powerful lyrics, such as ‘Kgang tsa ga malome di tsosa bana ba phefo,’ translate to “the uncle’s words are so disturbing they give one goosebumps,” vividly captures the emotional turmoil caused by such abuse.
Through her music, Maxy Khoisan aims to shed light on these often-hidden issues and provoke a much-needed dialogue. She asserts that such abhorrent behaviors still exist within families today, and her goal is to use her platform to caution uncles and other relatives against such predatory actions. The song serves as a bold denunciation of incest and a broader condemnation of any family member who engages in sexually abusive behavior. The single also tackles the pervasive problem of gender-based violence, extending its reach to fathers, brothers, sisters, and anyone who abuses vulnerable individuals. Maxy Khoisan emphasizes the crucial role of music as a medium for awareness and education. She believes that through compelling storytelling and emotional resonance, songs like “Kgang tsa ga malome” can make listeners aware of the signs and consequences of sexual violence.
