Afrobrotherz are a young and upcoming duo making waves on theĀ South African dance music scene with their organic beats and stunning melodies. With their Drumsoul Music EP out now on Afrocentric Records, 6AM say hello.
South African producer and DJ Black Coffee was caught in an slapping incident with AKA’s Manager on Saturday night.
The episode, which was caught on video, shows all three parties involved in what appears to be a heated discussing on stage behind a DJ set up, which ultimately culminates in Black Coffee slapping AKA’s Manager and the two being separated to avoid further escalation.
Reportedly, the incident was sparked by confusion with time schedules and who was due to perform next at DSTV iRock Music Festival that was happening in Polokwane. The reports state that AKA’s band was two hour late for the show.
In the video below, Black Coffee is seen talking to two men before slapping one of them in the middle of the conversation, hitting AKAās manager Tshiamo Letshwene in the face and causing his hat to fall.
If you want to know why I didn’t perform tonight you will need to ask @dstvsa why it’s ok for people to assault my road manager on stage.

The media likes to portray me as an aggressive person ….. Please explain to me what part of Black Coffee smacking my road manager is ok? ā AKA (@akaworldwide) September 24, 2016
My band were literally line checking, we were setup. The guy walks into stage, cuts our music …. Smacks my RM and plugs in ????????

If Oratilwe Hlongwane continues at his current rate of DJ-ing he will have accumulated more years of experience by the time heās 16 than some do in a lifetime. The three-year old South African boy, whose DJ name is Arch Jnr, recently made it through to the semifinals on South Africaās Got Talent, laying down a groovy foundation much to the enjoyment of the audience and judges.
As the worldās youngest DJ, Arch Jnr has seemingly endless potential with an astute taste for music. Perhaps he will follow in the footsteps of South African dance stewards Culoe De Song and Black Coffee, but thatās still a long way down the roadā¦but certainly not an unreasonable assumption.
Accompanied on stage by his father, Glen Hlongwane, Arch Jnr shows off his skills with timed effects and an impressive beat juggle that proves he is wise beyond his years. While the young South African still has much to learn, this video indicates that heās well on his way to rocking dance floors around the world.
