Mandoza, born Mduduzi Tshabalala, was a prominent South African kwaito musician who rose to fame in the late 1990s. His music style blended elements of hip-hop, house, and traditional African rhythms, creating a distinctive sound that resonated with a wide audience. His hit track “Nkalakatha” became an anthem of the genre, reflecting the vibrant spirit of post-apartheid South Africa.
Mandoza’s influence extended beyond music; he was celebrated for his efforts to address social issues through his lyrics. Tragically, he passed away in 2016 due to cancer, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape the kwaito landscape.

The popular talented actor had been making all sorts of headlines following his incredible Nkalakatha performance. The talented actor had time to spend with Mandoza’s family and what they all felt was special.
“One of my best moments was with these two gentle souls Mandoza’s first and second born sons Tumelo and Tokollo Tshabalala. The way they appreciate and honour the way I carried their father’s story, it’s humbling. From the first day I met them till today they never called me by my name or any other name but THAYIMA which means dad. That alone means so much to me because it means they really saw their late father in me.” Wiseman Mncube said during interview.
