In 1976, Shabalala converted to Christianity and a host of religious material now entered the group's repertoire.
Mambazo's first religious album, Ukukhanya Kwelanga, was released soon afterwards.
It earned a double platinum disc award, and the group's repertoire came to be dominated by hymns, mostly Methodist.
Their 1977 LP Ukusindiswa became one of their most popular religious albums, selling double gold discs within three weeks of release.
By 1981, the group's popularity was such that the apartheid government allowed the members to travel to Cologne, Germany as part of a South African folk music festival.
The group toured West Germany and appeared on television, and learned some of the German language ; for the group's 1981 album Phansi Emgodini, Shabalala composed a song titled " Wir GrĂ¼ssen Euch Alle " (" We greet you all ").
The following year, the group traveled back to Germany to appear on a televised quiz programme, bringing about requests for more live appearances.
A track by the group also appeared on the groundbreaking British compilation album The Indestructible Beat of Soweto.
