The band was formed in 2002 along with fellow members Mzi “Danger” Tshomela and the late Sbusiso “R Mashesha” Khoma. The three grew up together in Umlazi and the band’s name (NUZ) comes from the prefix in the license plates of vehicles registered in the Natal Umlazi.
In 2004, they got a recording contract with Gallo Records and released their first album, Zozo, with Why Not Entertainment’s Kid Mokoena. After the album was not successful, they moved to a new label, Afrotainment, and released their next album, 2nd Round Knockout in 2008. The album won the Metro FM Best Kwaito Award. It was also nominated for the 2008 Channel O Awards. The song “Uyoysholo Wena” was nominated for Song of The Year at the 2008 South African Music Awards.
The third album, Undisputed, was a collaboration with DJ Tira and DJ Fisherman. It won the award for the Album of the Year and the song “Umlilo” won Song of the Year at the South African Music Awards. The band went on to release Pound for Pound in 2011 and Made in Africa in 2013, both winning awards and going platinum in sales. In 2015, the album For the Fans was released on the same day the group member R Mashesha died. The remaining two members dedicated the album and the awards it won (Best Kwaito album and Best Duo or Group of the year) to R Mashesha.

Mampintsha was dating the South African artist Babes Wodumo whose real name is Bongekile Simelane. In March 2009, a video surfaced online in which Babes was allegedly beaten by her partner Mampintsha. Mampintsha was arrested and charged for the alleged assault of Babes Wodumo
Speaking of the assault on her daughter, Reverend Mbongeni Simelane, Babes Wodumo’s father said at the time: “When people are in love with each other, there are things that need to be addressed and if there is abuse they need to tell someone. I am very disappointed and hurt at what Mandla has done to my daughter. I am not pleased about that. I said Mandla, please don’t hit, don’t kick and don’t abuse my daughter for your own gain. Mandla consumed everything that Babes made, even the Black Panther payout. I want the world to know that Mandla was using my daughter for his own financial gain.”
In July 2019, a charge of assault was withdrawn against Mampintsha. They said in a statement released by Mampintsha’s manager, Dogg Dbn.
“The two parties mentioned above wish to extend their apology to the nation for all that has happened,” the statement said. “Mampintsha remains remorseful and is committed to working with authorities and any institution that deals with abuse through his “Fix Him Fix It” organisation that deals with teaching young men about abuse and helping them assess themselves.”
The pair appeared in the Pinetown Magistrate’s Court, where the charges were officially withdrawn. National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson Natasha Kara said the state had chosen to withdraw the charges following successful mediation between the two.
