The duo, Theo Kgosinkwe and Nhlanhla Nciza, shot to fame after they released their iconic album self-titled Mafikizolo in 1997. Eight albums later, the group has won the hearts and minds of millions of music fans in South Africa and beyond.
Nciza explained, “Mafikizolo has aspirations of conquering the world and putting South African music on the map. These ambitions resonate with MTN’s vision… we strongly believe that this is the beginning of great things for both brands.”
Larry Annetts, MTN South Africa Chief Marketing Officer, said the company was proud of the partnership with the group that won Best Group and Song of the Year for Khona featuring Uhuru at the MTV Africa Music Awards (Mamas).
The popular Afro-pop duo walked away with several awards at the 20th annual South African Music Awards (Samas) earlier this year and have been nominated for the Best International Act: Africa category at the BET Awards.
