Intokozo was a 1980 release by the South African isicathamiya group Ladysmith Black Mambazo. The album included primarily religious compositions (as was the norm for the group's albums by this time in their career) and was recorded shortly before they travelled to Cologne, Germany to perform at an African music festival. Intokozo also contains the first songs recorded by the group in the Sotho language ("Tsamaya Pelo Yaka", "Tsamaya Sathane" and "Re Betsa Batho Bohle").
