Effective period / Period of releases: 1996 - 2001

Members: Mandoza, General (20)

Kwaito band from South Africa

Chiskop (meaning bald) formed in 1988 along with Mandoza, S'bu (not to be confused with Sibusiso Ntshangase as S'Bu) aka SB, Siphiwe aka General GTZ, and Sizwe aka Lolipop. The group signed its first record contract eight years after its formation and released their debut album, Akusheshi (1996), later followed by Relax (1999). Although Chiskop achieved great success and was widely seen to be at kwaito's forefront, Mandoza also started a solo career. SB and Lolipop passed away shortly after their last album Sunday (2003), as their group started to disband. Mandoza passed away in 2016 with General GTZ only being the last Chiskop member alive.
