This is Nomfusi with Iqaqa; because it's Xhosa, q is an alveolar click. The song is a nice blend of various genres. It's a song about a relationship with lyrics in English and Xhosa, and the description helpfully explains the recurring phrase:
"The Xhosa idiom “Iqaqa aliziva kunuka” means “the skunk does not smell itself” which refers to the fact that people often are unable to recognize their own faults."
