Uhuru (Swahili: freedom) is a four-man South African music group best known for producing the hit single by Mafikizolo titled "Khona". The group, consisting of Themba Sekowe (Maphorisa), Nqobile Mahlanu (Mapiano), Sihle Dlalisisa (DJ Clap) and Xelimpilo Simelane (Xeli), is signed to Kalawa Jazmee.
Prior to the forming of the group in 2012, Mapiano, Maphorisa and Xeli were friends who were into playing contemporary African jazz in Soshanguve where they originated from. The group was named Uhuru after they met DJ Clap who was already an artiste signed to Kalawa Jazmee Records. Maphorisa is the producer for the group while DJ Clap, Mapiano and Xeli are the DJ, pianist and vocalist respectively.
Uhuru shot into limelight in 2013 after the release of the chart-topping single titled "Y-tjukutja", which went on to be dubbed as the song of the year for 2013 in South Africa. They produced and also featured in "Khona", a song which topped many music charts and won several awards in South Africa and beyond including the 2014 MTV Africa Music Awards.
Uhuru is a bootleg version of the album Welcome Home (1975) by British Afro-pop band Osibisa, released without authorisation in 1992 by Soundwings Records (MC-102.1076-2) and distributed by Serenade S.A., Barcelona, Spain. The CD duplicates the Welcome Home album (in poorer fidelity) with the addition of one track from Osibisa's live video.

Si cada vez que fui buscando suerte, con nada en mi bolsillo me volví.
Ahora sé que algo equivocado, obscurecía mi pasado, y a entender el mundo aprendí.
"La paz no puede existir sin guerras" y "Sin mentiras no habría verdad", esto es lo que cuentan a la gente y se lo creerán, no me gusta y no me puedo acostumbrar.
Lo intento y no lo entiendo,
todo esto no lo aguanto.
CORO:
Toda la vida, toda una vida,
caracolear buscando salida,
tú sabes que esta es mi forma
de vivir pa' llegar pa'arriba.
Toda la vida, toda una vida,
me quedaré a curar mis heridas,
y alguna vez (amando),
y alguna vez llorando.
Aprendo día con día a marcharme lejos sin volver atrás.
Me han dicho que "Sufrir te hace más fuerte" que "El olvido todo hace pasar"
y de tan'dolor que yo he probado,
solo y triste me he quedado,
mirando mis heridas olvidar.
Lo intento y no lo logro,
todo esto no lo aguanto.
CORO:
(cayendo)
Qué estás haciendo tú para evitar la trampa del pecado capital?
Por qué serás juzgado que no sea pasado por Allá?
No pierdan tiempo pa'decirme
quién yo soy, prefiero descubrirlo yo,
lo que con mi cabeza llego a pensar.
Si Dios perdona a todos,
tendrá que perdonarme,
si decidí que nada podrá cambiarme.
Coro:.
