Malaika, the daughter of artists Thandiswa Mazwai and Stoan Seete, is known for her outspoken and bold social media persona, just like her mother. When a social media follower questioned her sexuality by stating, "Thandiswa Mazwai daughter gay. Damn. RIP to the legacy then," Malaika didn't hesitate to express her views on the LGBTQI community. She confidently responded, "Gay ASF just like my momma. Everything we do is for the queers. Yafa nyani ilegacy ke."
Following in the footsteps of her aunt Ntsiki Mazwai, known for her unfiltered opinions, and her relative Nomsa Mazwai, a prominent voice for artists, Malaika seems to be carving her own path in the arts as a producer. In 2022, Thandiswa announced that her daughter had entered the world of storytelling after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Motion Picture Medium from AFDA.
Meanwhile, Thandiswa herself has had a successful start to 2024. She achieved a significant milestone by filling up New York City's renowned Lincoln Center theatre as part of the globalFEST, a world music festival based in the United States. Additionally, she shared the news of her invitation to perform at the NPR Tiny Desk Concerts in New York, receiving a heartwarming shoutout from her biggest supporter, her daughter Malaika.
