DJ Jaivane, Tots SA and Wesley Keys join forces with De Rose on “Phola,” an upcoming Amapiano collaboration featured on Mended Pieces. The track brings together artists whose names overlap across Jaivane’s catalogue, giving listeners a new collaboration to follow as his next album approaches.
For Amapiano Groove readers keeping track of new South African music, “Phola” is a release to watch. Its appeal begins with the lineup: three jointly credited lead artists, a returning featured collaborator and a place within a larger project built around multiple musical partnerships.
Phola release date and song details
“Phola” is currently listed for release on 9 October 2026 through Ziiki Media. Beatport classifies the track as Amapiano and lists the Original Mix at 113 BPM in F minor. These details offer an early reference for DJs planning their selections and listeners following the album rollout. View the Beatport listing.
The tempo places it alongside several other Mended Pieces tracks listed at 113 BPM. That shared pace may provide useful options for DJs exploring transitions across the project, although tempo and key alone cannot describe a song’s complete character.
As of 25 September 2026, the album remains listed as a pre-release. Readers should therefore treat “Phola” as an upcoming track when checking availability on their preferred music platform.
A place on DJ Jaivane’s Mended Pieces
Apple Music lists “Phola” as track 12 on the 15-song Mended Pieces album. It follows “Malunde,” featuring Springle and Philharmonic, and precedes “Izolo,” which credits Jaivane, Tots SA, BitterSoul and Wesley Keys, with Ciniso featured.
That placement makes “Phola” part of a closing stretch that continues to rotate collaborators. Elsewhere, the album includes appearances from Smilo, Basaya, Lady Du and other artists, giving listeners several different combinations to explore. Explore the album tracklist.
For anyone discovering Tots SA or Wesley Keys through this song, the surrounding tracklist offers a natural next step. Following their credits across the project can reveal how the same collaborators come together in different groupings.
De Rose and the connection to Lutho
“Phola” also reconnects DJ Jaivane, Wesley Keys and De Rose after “Lutho.” Released on Onkgopotse in July 2025, that earlier song credits Jaivane, Smaki 08 and Wesley Keys, with De Rose as the featured artist. Find “Lutho” on Apple Music.
This existing connection gives returning listeners a useful starting point. The new lineup includes Tots SA, while retaining three names associated with “Lutho.” It creates an opportunity to hear another collaboration involving familiar artists without assuming that the two records will follow the same musical direction.
Jaivane’s official Onkgopotse release page also documents Wesley Keys’ involvement in songs including “Molo,” “Fike” and “Khululeka.” Those credits show that the partnership extends beyond a single track and provide further listening ahead of “Phola.” Explore Onkgopotse.
Wesley Keys’ wider catalogue
Listeners wanting more background can also explore Wesley Keys’ own releases. His Apple Music catalogue includes the 2025 album Qhubeka (i), alongside 2026 singles such as “Uyathandwa” and “Ngiphuma Khona,” featuring Cnethemba Gonelo and Frank Mabeat. Browse Wesley Keys’ music.
These releases offer another route into the artist’s work before returning to his collaborations with Jaivane. For readers building a playlist around the names behind “Phola,” they provide specific starting points beyond the upcoming album.
