Mafikizolo is a South African Afro Pop group that was founded in Kagiso in the West Rand, located in Johannesburg in Gauteng province of South Africa in 1996.
The group consists of two members namely: Theo Kgosinkwe and Nhlanhla Nciza.
The group was actually made up of three members until Tebogo Benedict Madingoane was shot and killed in 2004. The group was first a girl band but none of them lasted and Nciza convinced Theo to be part of the group.

In 1997 they released their album self-titled “Mafikizolo”, and in 1999 they released another which they titled “Music Revolution” and in 2000 they released their third studio album titled “Gate Crashers”.
