Phati and George married in 1987. Phati comes from a very musical family, her father sang with Ladysmith Black Mambazo in South Africa in the 60's. He returned to Mbizingwe village Esigodini and started a family. He had six girls and taught them all how to sing. Three of the girls became musicians and singers Doreen, Busi Ncube and Phati.
