Dimakatso Tackles the Emotional Realities of Love in “Babe Waitse Keng”

Rising vocalist Dimakatso is stepping into the spotlight with a release that hits both the heart and the dancefloor. Her latest music video for “Babe Waitse Keng”, released on 18 October 2025, delivers a deeply emotional love story wrapped in a smooth, infectious three-step house groove—and it’s the kind of song that lingers long after the beat fades.

At its core, Babe Waitse Keng is about relationships in their most honest form. It captures the ache of missing someone you love, the exhaustion that comes from broken promises, and the quiet loneliness that creeps in when affection feels one-sided. Dimakatso gives voice to emotions many women know too well—wanting closeness while watching a partner choose time with friends over the relationship. It’s vulnerable, relatable, and refreshingly sincere.

What makes the track shine is how effortlessly Dimakatso moves within the house music space. Her vocals glide effortlessly over the rhythm, showcasing her versatility and natural feel for the genre. Recorded in just a few hours at Shinning Stars Production studios in Thembisa, the song is a testament to preparation meeting passion. Written and produced by Isaac Nonyane, with mixing handled by Musa Maseko, the track balances emotional storytelling with a rhythm designed to live on the dancefloor.

The music video adds another layer to the experience, visually amplifying the song’s themes and pulling viewers deeper into its emotional world. It’s not just something you hear—it’s something you feel.
