2005

South African music in 2005 was a cross-generational celebration: Malaika's '2bhobho' was named song of the year, while Freshlyground's 'Doo Be Doo' became the most-played song on local radio, blending Southern African folk with pop warmth. Mafikizolo's neo-marabi revival deepened, and the Durban kwaito scene flexed through Mzekezeke's masked anthems.
