Model and activist, Khanyisa Mbuthu, is also one half of a jazz duo called IziQhaza who are singed to Oskido’s Kalawa Jazzmee and Universal Music.
According to their Facebook page, the group – which has been around fo years – named themselves after a pair of Zulu African Earrings (which are usually wooden) worn in the olden days to differentiate amaZulu from other tribes and as a symbol of pride. As proud Zulu people, Khanyisa and her bandmate Mbongeni felt that giving themselves this name would revive the true meaning of the word.
When she’s not making music, she’s recreating the social media photos posted by some of your favourites. Take a look:
