Thokozani Langa (born 9 February 1972) is a Maskandi musician from Mahlabathini, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.[1] Langa signed with Bula Music in 2004 to release his third album. After receiving exposure on national radio and the traditional South African music program Ezodumo, he was nominated for SAMA for both his albums Ipeni Nephepha (2005) and Lishonil' Ilanga (2006), in the category of Best Maskandi Album and Best Mbaqanga Album respectively, alongside the Soul Brothers and Bhekumuzi Luthuli.[2]
Langa was engaged for some time in a musical rivalry with fellow Maskandi singer Bhekumuzi Luthuli.[3] The dispute is the subject of Langa's album entitled Phuma Kimi, released in 2007, which won the SATMA award for Best Male Artist in September that year.[4]
