With an uncanny resemblance to his father and a burgeoning talent of his own, Tokollo is capturing the attention and admiration of South Africa, igniting a buzz that echoes the spirit of his father's influence.
According to Musa Khawula on the social media platform 'X,' Mandoza's name has been in the news a lot lately as fans wait for his biopic, 'Nkalakatha: The Life of Mandoza', to drop on 16 August.

Mandoza, a true South African musical legend, left an indelible mark on the country's entertainment scene.

The news of his passing back in 2016 was a profound loss to the music industry and to the fans who had grown up dancing to his beats.
The smash hit song, 'Nkalakatha', is a song that will stand the test of time as one of SA's best songs ever, in our opinion. The song reaches every single race and culture in South Africa.
Now, years later, his legacy finds a living reflection in the form of Tokollo Tshabalala.
The striking resemblance between father and son is more than skin deep; it's a visual and spiritual reminder of the impact Mandoza had on South African music.
