Maglera Doe Boy Drops “God Is Power” on His Birthday – A Visual Tribute to Kanana
On Sunday, 4 August 2025, Maglera Doe Boy turned a year older and celebrated the occasion by giving his fans something powerful. Taking to Instagram, he shared a moving post reflecting on his roots and purpose:
“And on this day my ancestors said let there be a King.
Tau.
Let his name be Tokelo.
Let him speak for his people.”
As a gift to his supporters, Maglera released the official music video for “God Is Power” a collaboration between Maglera Doe Boy & ONDELIVE, featuring Burningforestboy. Produced by @fiji_mageba, the track is raw, spiritual, and speaks directly to legacy and resilience.
The music video marks Maglera’s first visual release in almost a year and was shot in the city of Matlosana and the township of Kanana, where he grew up. The visual doesn’t just tell a story, it brings the viewer into his world, with real locations and real people. Shoutout to Mayor Fikile Mahlope for opening the doors of the city council and even his office for the shoot.
The video is more than a production, it’s a cultural statement. Co-directed by @moralepablophala_ and Maglera himself, and produced under @cloutcassette, the team behind God Is Power brought the vision to life with purpose and soul.
