Malaika, now 26, is the daughter of two South African music legends. Her parents, Thandiswa Mazwai and rapper Stoan Seate, were both members of Bongo Maffin, the beloved group that helped define a generation of South African music.
The creative gene appears to have been passed down, with Thandiswa noting that her daughter is also "carving her own beautiful way" in the creative world following her graduation from AFDA film school in March 2023.
