Mandoza to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at SAMAs
Mandoza's impact on the South African music industry is undisputed. The star paved the way for a lot of other artists. Although he is gone, his music has continued to make waves, with his 2000 hit Nkalakatha recently being played at the Rugby World Cup in France.
SAMA announced on their Instagram page that this year's lifetime honourees are Mandoza, Gloria Bosman, Pops Mohamed and Ihhashi Elimhlophe. One of the posts read:
"Honouring Mandoza, the late Kwaito icon whose music transcended boundaries and its impact is everlasting. He brought kwaito to life and continues to inspire generations. We pay tribute to a legend of South African music in celebrating his lifetime achievement at #SAMA29."

Mandoza's family allegedly set to benefit from Nkalakatha
Briefly News previously reported that every time the Springboks played in the Rugby World Cup, the hit song Nkalakatha played. This made the song by the late Mandoza the unofficial anthem for the RWC.
According to X user and TV host @illythehost, the RWC organisation might have to pay SAMRO royalties of up to R179 million.
