Malaika (group)
Malaika is a South African Afro-pop music group, which has been described as post-kwaito, post-mbaqanga and neo-soul, consisting of musicians: Bongani Nchang and the late Jabulani Ndaba (both born in Klerksdorp), from the previous band, The Stouters, and Matshediso Mholo (born in Lichtenburg), a former school teacher.
Malaika are probably best-known for their breakthrough hit "Destiny", and is considered among fans to be their signature song. The group toured Australia from 6–9 March 2008 with Australian Idol 2007 finalist Tarisai Vushe as the supporting act.[1]
