Mahola, who studied drama at the University of Cape Town and joined Freshlyground in 2002, is one of South Africa's most popular and recognisable singers. Last year, she performed in a reading of While We're Not Apart, a play written especially for her by French writer Eudes Panel. Mahola has also been involved with Mzfitz, a band that allows her to explore musical territory beyond Freshlyground's Afro-pop sound.
Since releasing her first solo album in 2002, Zoid has become an important part of the local rock scene. She has managed to balance popular appeal with critical praise and has been supported by both Afrikaans and English fans. She was named Best Female Artist at the 2008 South African Music Awards and has shared a stage with international acts like John Mayer, Annie Lennox, Metallica, Simple Plan, Seal, and UB40.
