Mofene David Sitoe was born in 1940 at Chibuto, Mondiana near Maputo. He is the second born in a family of four; one girl and three boys. He attended school at Chibuto. At the age of fifteen he had already started looking after his father's cattle. He recorded his first transcriptions for Radio Mozambique in 1964. In 1975 he joined Durban Deep Gold Mines as a labourer. It was on a Saturday while on his way from a part-time job in Roodepoort that he met Jimmy Mahlangu. Jimmy, after being highly impressed by Sitoe's songs, advised him to record them. Since he did not have any recording know-how and moreover was a foreigner, he asked Jimmy how he could record his songs. Jimmy approached me (Lucky E. Monama). As a producer of traditional music I auditioned him and thereafter never looked back, but took him into the studio to record his first album entitled "Mbilwini Yamina".
