Who is Thando Nje?

Thando Nje, real name Noluthando Sibanyoni, is a 31-year-old R&B musician. She has never confirmed that Joe “Ferrari” Sibanyoni is her father.

She rose to fame in 2018 after a viral Slikour OnLife interview in which she tried to explain the meaning of her stage name. She said that the Nje in her name was silent, that she only had it there to let people know that Thando was not short for anything. Her explanation left Silkour visibly confused.

In a 2023 interview with Daily Sun, Thando explained how she fell in love with music in 2015 during her first year in university.

The musician explained that recording her own songs was not easy, as she went through a process of self-discovery. She started by covering other people’s songs before recording and releasing her original songs.

"My love for music started in 2015 when I was in my first year of university. I started by doing covers, then I started writing and producing. However, finding my feet as a musician was quite a mission,” she told Daily Sun at the time.

While she has not publicly confirmed that the taxi boss is her dad, the songstress performed at his 60th birthday in April 2026. The glamorous celebration event was hosted at an undisclosed venue in Sandton, north of Johannesburg. It was an invitation-only event attended by Sibanyoni’s loved ones. No expenses were spared at the luxurious event where she performed one of her songs, Thando Nje’s Prayer, with a full orchestra.
