Ithwasa Lekhansela – iVideo Call

Ithwasa Lekhansela returns with “iVideo Call”, a fresh release that gives fans one more song to add to their playlists.

Technology has changed how people maintain relationships across distance, making a conversation possible without being in the same room. Ithwasa Lekhansela takes that modern situation into iVideo Call, a 2026 title that points directly to communication through a screen.

A video call can be practical, romantic or emotionally complicated. It allows relatives to see one another across countries, helps friends stay connected and gives couples a way to spend time together when meeting in person is not possible. At the same time, a screen cannot fully replace physical presence, and the experience may feel different depending on how close the people are or what they need to discuss. The title leaves those possibilities open until the lyrics establish the story.

Ithwasa Lekhansela is associated with Maskandi, a South African style rooted in Zulu-language expression and stories drawn from everyday life. The track appears among the artist’s 2026 releases, a period that also includes the project Inxakanxaka. The use of a contemporary technology term within a song title places a familiar modern habit alongside a musical tradition with deep cultural roots.

The small “i” at the beginning of the title gives it the look of a digital service or device, making the reference immediately recognisable to people who use video calls regularly. That detail points to how technology has become part of ordinary relationships rather than something separate from daily life. The actual lyrics determine whether the call is a source of comfort, longing or conflict.

The subject may connect with anyone who has maintained a relationship through a phone screen. A call can reduce distance for a moment, but it can also remind people of the miles that still separate them.
