It looks like the video for Vusi Nova's hit track, which features Jessica Mbangeni, will be one for the books.
The singer, who released the song this year, has started working on the music video. The award-winning musician shared behind the scenes images and videos from the shoot on his Instagram page.

The track is dedicated to fallen South African singers including Brenda Fassie, Hugh Masekela, Sfiso Ncwane and others. Although the song was made with good intentions, there has been a lot of drama surrounding it, with different people claiming that it belongs to them.
"I woke up this morning to a newspaper banner: Vusi Nova stole our song!! The song AS’PHELELANGA, a song I have known since I was a child is now being claimed to have been written by a Maskandi artist, a soccer team, a boxer and Lord knows who else." Vusi wrote on Instagram a few days ago.
"What for me was a celebratory song to remember fallen musicians over the years has sadly brought out the worst in human behaviour. I stand by my version of AS’PHELELANGA to Honour our musicians. Long live the memory of our musicians that have lifted our spirits in our time of need," he added.
