Young Mbazo, also known as Thee Legacy, is a distinct South African contemporary isicathamiya ensemble spinoff made up of the sons and grandsons of the multi Grammy-award winning acapella group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. They rose to stardom as a result of winning the inaugural Sing Off South Africa 2015 a cappella music competition, which aired on SABC 1 and earned them a recording deal with Sony Music Entertainment Africa.
Young Mbazo was nominated at the 16th Metro FM Music Awards in the Best Remix category for radio charting singles “Wena Wedwa” (MusicCraftMAN Mix) and “S’thandwa Sami” (Mr Kamera Remix); making them the only artists to receive more than one nomination in the same MMA16 category that year. Young Mbazo’s Wena Wedwa (MusicCraftMAN Mix) is also featured as a soundtrack to the latest Simba Mapha TVC.

Young Mbazo was founded by Babuyile Shabalala the son of Ladysmith Black Mambazo Mzizi Shabalala and grandson of Ladysmith Black Mambazo founder, Joseph Shabalala member in 2009.
Before entering The Sing Off South Africa competition in 2015 the group consisted of more than five members. Due to the competition requirements they had to remove some members, as the competition required a maximum of five members. Jabulani Mthembu decided to eventually change the name because he didn’t want it to look like they were just following in their grandparents’ footsteps, that they would be under their shadow; and so Thee Legacy was born which developed into Young Mbazo after winning the inaugural Sing Off South Africa competition.
Having released the self-titled debut album Thee Legacy, the group released the single “Wena Wedwa”, a follow up to their debut “Sthandwa Sami” single which made them the inaugural winners of The Sing Off South Africa 2015. In 2016 the group partnered with Victory “Vix” Chauke from MusicCraftsMan to create the remix of “Wena Wedwa” which has an R&B and afro house sound. The song led to the group’s collaboration with the South African heritage brand, Simba, as they provided the soundtrack to the latest Simba Mapha TVC, as Simba celebrated its 60-year anniversary.
