Mandoza
Mduduzi Tshabalala (1978), well known as Mandoza, is a South African kwaito musician.
Early life
Mandoza was born in the Zola South section of Soweto, where he shared a house with his mother, his grandparents and two sisters. He never knew his father, his mother claiming that he was murdered the same year Mandoza was born. When he was sixteen years old he was charged with stealing a car and received a one-and-a-half year sentence, which he served in Diepkloof prison.
When he was released from prison, Mandoza formed the group Chiskop along with three childhood friends, S’bu, Siphiwe and Sizwe.
His talents were discovered by Arthur Mafokate also known as the King of Kwaito
He was first played on air by DJ Sipho Mbatha A.K.A. Sgqemeza of Durban Youth Radio now joined Ukhozi FM.
Mandoza strives to give an inspirational message to Kwaito. Mandoza uses his music as a way to encourage young South Africans to achieve their goals. His song Uzoyithola Kanjani means "how are you going to get it, if you don't get up and go for it." He credits much of his success to his mentor, Glenn Morris, who helped him during his drug addled early years.

He Will Come
by: MandisaIf what you thought was the truth, is a lie
And what you thought to keep on breathing has died
You faced the lonely nights and wrestled with the dark
And you reach to find the love to fill the space inside your heart
It's hard to put it into words, the way you feel
It's a naked emptiness that lingers still
Are you a victim of the past without a trace of hope inside?
And it all goes by so fast without a way to make it right
If you worry, don't worry
God will come and wrap His arms around You
It wouldn't be too much for Him
To love You as He found You
And it may seem like You're too far gone
But He loves you like His only son
And He will come, He will come
From the bounty of a river, there's a flow
From the beauty of the Father's heart's a home
That never leaves you empty, no, and never leaves you bare
So come and bring your guilt and shame, come and leave it there
If you're weary, He's willing
God will come and wrap His arms around You
It wouldn't be too much for Him
To love You as He found You
And it may seem like You're too far gone
But He loves you like His only son
And He will come
Oh, you don't have to be worthy
You don't have to be anything
But willing to fall into His arms
Willing to fall into His arms
God will come and wrap His arms around You
It wouldn't be too much for Him
To love You as He found You
And it may seem like You're too far gone
But He loves you like His only son
