Murumba Pitch

Bio

Murumba Pitch is a South African amapiano act formed in Johannesburg in 2020 by Emmanuel "Omit ST" Mathye and Thabang Innocent "Maeywon" Mongolo. Known for a soulful, vocal-led take on the genre, the pair released the albums Obrigado and Horumar in 2022 before the 17-track Isidalo arrived in February 2024, carrying features from Kelvin Momo, Boohle, Daliwonga and Nkosazana Daughter. Streaming hits such as "Hamba Juba", "Wena Dali" and "Esangweni" drew more than 700,000 monthly Spotify listeners. The duo announced a mutual split in March 2025, and Mongolo now carries the Murumba Pitch name forward, releasing the album Me To Me later that year.
