Phezulu Emafini was the ninth studio release by the South African isicathamiya group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The album (#BL 92) was released "back to back" with another release, Shintsha Sithothobala (#BL 91), and was composed entirely of Zulu Christian hymns such as "Limnandi Ivangeli" ("The Gospel Is Pleasant"), "Thuma Umlilo Ongcwele" and "Yith' Umlilo Ovuthayo" (the latter track was re-recorded for the group's 1997 album, Heavenly).
