The most successful SA musician ever?
This guy may be the most successful South African musician on earth. Depending on how you define it. He may not be rich, he hasn’t sold many albums, he’s just started his first band, and he’s hardly played live at all. None of that matters though. Cobus Potgieter from Bloemfontein […]
Video: Die Antwoord – Cookie Thumper
This time SA’s traiblazing rap-rave outfit present a short movie, directed by Ninja, and incorporating the music video. How to shock people now, the okes from Anties must have asked themselves.

Umshini Wam: A short film starring Die Antwoord
Harmony Korrine wrote super-disturbing movie Kids. Whatever this movie’s about, it stars fellow purveyors of disturbingness, South African zef rap-rave crew Die Antwoord. The movie premiered at the SXSW festival and it’s about gangster dudes in animal costumes rocking wheelchairs with hologram rims and roking joints the size of batons. […]
