Zulu Mammies

Zulu Mammies is a rising female DJ duo from Durban, South Africa, known for their bold energy, cultural pride, and genre-blending sound. With deep roots in the rhythms of amapiano, gqom, Afro-tech, and house, they bring a fresh and fierce presence to every stage they grace.

Founded by longtime friends and collaborators, Sinethemba Makhathini and Vanessa Fakazi, Zulu Mammies is more than a DJ act—it’s a movement. Their sets are a celebration of African identity, womanhood, and the power of sound to unite people across backgrounds. Whether spinning at township block parties, city clubs, or major festivals, they know how to ignite a crowd and keep it moving.

Driven by purpose and passion, Zulu Mammies is on a mission to empower the next generation of female creatives while breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry. With every performance, they prove that Durban’s daughters are here to lead—and to leave a lasting beat behind.
