isaziso is directly translated from my home language, isiXhosa, as “notification or an announcement". It speaks about the person I am perceived as by my closest friends and family. With specific reference to the first line of verse one. ‘ Ndakhuliswa mna ekhaya bathi ndikhulile bathi ndikhulile, kodwa ndisengumntwana’ which speaks about who my family sees me as compared to who I am when I am around them. It also is also my first entirely vernacular single.” - Thando Skwatsha
