Young Mbazo, also known as Thee Legacy, is a distinct South African contemporary isicathamiya ensemble spinoff made up of the sons and grandsons of the multi Grammy-award winning acapella group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. They rose to stardom as a result of winning the inaugural Sing Off South Africa 2015 a cappella music competition, which aired on SABC 1 and earned them a recording deal with Sony Music Entertainment Africa.

Young Mbazo was nominated at the 16th Metro FM Music Awards in the Best Remix category for radio charting singles "Wena Wedwa" (MusicCraftMAN Mix) and "S’thandwa Sami" (Mr Kamera Remix); making them the only artists to receive more than one nomination in the same MMA16 category that year. Young Mbazo’s Wena Wedwa (MusicCraftMAN Mix) is also featured as a soundtrack to the latest Simba Mapha TVC.
