Leonard Mzilikazi Ndzukula, better known as Mzilikazi wa Afrika (born 26 November 1971), is a South African investigative journalist who worked for the Sunday Times newspaper. He resigned with a colleague, Stephan Hofstatter, in October 2018 after the newspaper publicly apologised for a number of stories they wrote between 2011 and 2016 which were found to be not reflecting an honest truth.[1][2][3] He is a multi-award winning journalist, a music producer and also the author of Nothing Left to Steal.[4][5][6]
Wa Afrika was then employed by the Sunday Independent newspaper, beginning April 2019 and left to work for the Sunday World starting November 2023.[7][8]
