Tendaness (born Tatenda Mandaza on September 10, 1992, in Mbabane) is an award-winning DJ, record producer and songwriter from Eswatini known for his signature fusion of Afro-House, Deep House and Electronic-Pop rhythms.
His 2017 hit ‘Jika’, featuring Bholoja and LO, topped streaming charts across Eswatini, secured heavy rotation on South Africa’s YFM and reached BBC Radio 1Xtra’s DNA Top 5. As one of Eswatini’s longest-standing and biggest music exports, Tendaness has built a career spanning more than 15 years, establishing himself as a leading force in Southern Africa’s electronic music scene.
He continues to expand his international footprint with a new musical chapter that connects directly with his growing presence across the continent. ‘JikaReloaded’ delivers Tendaness’ signature fusion of African rhythms, electronic production and high-energy Afro-House 3-Step, creating a record built for both dance floors and global audiences.
The Zambia tour will see Tendaness bring his sound and energy to audiences across the country, strengthening his connection with Zambia’s music and nightlife culture. “Africa has always been at the centre of my sound, Zambia represents an important part of this next chapter and releasing ‘JikaReloaded’ alongside the tour makes the music and the journey one story”, he said.
As he approaches 20 years in music, Tendaness continues to position himself as one of Southern Africa’s Afro-House exports. ‘JikaReloaded’ will be available on all major streaming platforms from August 21, 2026.
