In 2020, Rogue release a singe “Senzeni Na,” in collaboration with Amanda Black to address the scourge of gender-based violence in the country.
“Senzeni Na” is a well-known South African struggle song that our heroes utilised as a war cry during the apartheid era and, in 2020, Rouge and Amanda were able to redefine this golden oldie by owning it and inspiring anyone who will listen to this new inspirational Mzansi anthem.
“Growing up the youngest of four girls, it never dawned on me that I was growing up in a country where to be a woman was to be at constant risk,” said Rouge.
Other artists that are signed with WMSA include South African singer and songwriter Zahara, Nigerian singer-songwriter CKay, Tanzanian musician Diamond Platnumz and SA’s electro hop music duo Locnville.
