Theo Kgosinkwe, one-half of the iconic South African musical duo Mafikizolo, has ended swirling rumours suggesting the group’s breakup.
The speculation gained traction following Nhlanhla Mafu’s solo single, Ngithanda Wena, featuring DJ Tira and AmaTycooler. However, Kgosinkwe has confirmed that the group remains intact, continuing to perform and thrive as a collective force in the music industry.
“Mafikizolo is still together because we both realized that this is a brand that we’ve nurtured for more than 27 years, and we cannot simply abandon it.”
He added that the group continues to secure bookings and perform together, showcasing their commitment to their shared legacy.

Similarly, Mafu’s solo career has gained momentum, with her latest single, Ngithanda Wena, climbing the charts and resonating with fans. She also promoted her business of selling clothes when she promoted her single. This led fans to believe that Mafikizolo was no longer there and that the two were going their separate ways. However, Theo had this to say about it:
“We do have individual goals that we would like to accomplish. As a songwriter and musician, I have ideas and projects I want to bring to life independently. Nhlanhla shares the same drive to express her unique artistry.”
