Mandoza Best Songs List: Mduduzi Edmund Tshabalala, also known as Mandoza, was a South African kwaito recording artist. He was known for his contributions to the Kwaito genre and his numerous hit singles, including “Nkalakatha”, Throughout his career, Mandoza has given his albums titles like Nkalakatha, Godoba, Tornado, Champion, and Phunyuka Bamphethe. His music, however, justified all of his bravado, since he was one of the most compelling kwaito performers of all time.
Mandoza, who was born Mduduzi Tshabalala in Soweto in 1978, created the kwaito group Chiskop in the 1990s with childhood friends Siphiwe “General” Sibisi, Sizwe “Lollipop” Motaung, and Sibusiso “SB-Bless” Thanjekwayo. The band, known for hits including “Umuntu Omnyama,” “Klaimar,” and “Sunday,” performed on Mandoza’s 1999 street-centric motivational anthem “Uzoythola Kanjani.” Producer Gabi Le Roux’s electric guitar licks on the song went on to define a large section of Mandoza’s catalog during the 2000s.
His biggest song, “Nkalakatha,” was published in 2000 and was a tremendous kwaito/rock crossover that is still played at rugby matches, workplace end-of-year parties, and street bashes to this day. From there, Mandoza established a solid oeuvre marked by potent beats and chest-thumping passion, whether applauding himself or encouraging young people to avoid crime and drugs on songs like “Respect Life,” “Hope,” and “Indoda.” Even after his untimely death from cancer in 2015 at the age of 38, his music continues to inspire.
