It is believed that he completed primary and secondary school in South Africa, but no one is certain about his university education.
Career
In 2002, Mampintsha started making music after forming a popular kwaito group called Big Nuz. The group consisted of Mampintsha, Mzi Tshomela and the late Sbu Khomo. All of these members in the group were close friends of Mampintsha who had known each other since Umlazi. So in search of better offers and opportunities, the group members moved from Johannesburg to Durban.
They could not get any decent offers despite their talent and hard work until 2004 when they got an offer from Gallo Records. They released their first album titled Zozo under this record label with Kid Mokoena. However, the album did not go down well and they could not get much recognition or sales from it.
They released their second album titled 2nd Round Knockout in 2008 under their new label Afrotainment. They recorded relatively successful sales of twenty thousand copies, indicating the acceptance of their music. They also won the Metro FM award for Best Kwaito.
Their song was nominated at the 2008 Channel O Awards, and a track from the album titled Uyoysholo Wena was also nominated for Song of the Year at the 2008 SAMA. They released another great album titled Undisputed right after the huge success of their previous album.
To further increase their popularity and recognition, they worked with DJ Fisherman and DJ Tira. This album Undisputed won them the Album of the Year award at the SAMAs, and a song on the album titled Umlilo won the Song of the Year award. The group remained inactive until 2011 when they released another album, Pound for Pound.
In 2013, they released Made in Africa, and in 2015, they released an album titled For the Fans on the day R Mashesha (one of the band members) passed away. The album was dedicated to “Mashesha”, a member of the group.
