Dubbed as “The Zulu Skywalker,” Muziwakhe McVictor Mazibuko akaMuzi is a South African DJ, singer, songwriter, and record producer from Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal.
Muzi rose to notoriety with the release of his second album, “Afrovision” (2018), and is now one of South Africa’s most acclaimed and talked-about performers.
