Lalomba Music CC

Judith Sephuma's own South African recording imprint, distributed by Virgin Music Group for her 2025 album and jointly credited with Sony Music Entertainment Africa on a 2026 release.

Based in
Johannesburg, South Africa

Lalomba Music CC is the personal recording imprint of South African jazz and gospel artist Judith Sephuma. Africa.com and Music In Africa both describe it as her own label; her 2025 album When Winter Fades was released under the Lalomba name and distributed by Virgin Music Group South Africa.

The company’s domain, lalomba.co.za, resolves to a “coming soon” placeholder naming Lalomba directly and listing contact addresses at judith@lalomba.co.za and info@lalomba.co.za. On a 2026 remix EP of Sephuma’s “Iya Iyo”, Apple’s South African catalogue carries a joint phonogram credit reading “Sony Music Entertainment Africa (Pty) Ltd / Lalomba Music CC”, a form that records two parties claiming the sound recording copyright without establishing the split or the nature of the arrangement between them.

No South African company register entry, registration number or incorporation date has been located; the CIPC register has no public API available to this desk. Sephuma’s earlier catalogue was credited to other companies in turn: BMG Records Africa (Pty) Ltd on her 2001 debut, SonyBMG Music Entertainment Africa in 2008, and SME Africa (Pty) Ltd in 2011. Lalomba Music is the artist-side company on her most recent work.
