The Balas legacy in Mzansi entertainment

The Bala legacy is one of breaking racial barriers, musical innovation, and intergenerational talent that continues to evolve and connect with audiences through various entertainment mediums.

The legacy is mostly defined by the Bala Brothers trio and their unique blend of classical opera and African music, their individual achievements in various music genres, and their current role as the subject of their popular reality TV show.

Zwai Bala made history in 1988 by becoming the first black member of the previously segregated Drakensberg Boys' Choir School. His younger brothers, Loyiso and Phelo, followed in his footsteps.

They have toured internationally and performed at significant events, including the memorial service for Nelson Mandela in Cape Town in December 2013.

Beyond the trio, the brothers have had successful individual careers. Zwai co-founded the legendary Kwaito group TKZee, while Loyiso became an established R&B and gospel artist and a UNAIDS, goodwill ambassador.
