Amapiano Duo Ama Roto, made of Reece Madlisa and Sabelo Zuma, shared images and a video showing off their brand new luxury vehicle on their social media accounts. The gents bought themselves a V-Class Mercedes and captioned their posts, “Umthandazo wabolova,” which means a gangster’s prayer.
Ama Roto
Both stars were raised in the Alexandra township in Gauteng. Ama Roto means giant fat rats, and Alexandra is known for having a lot of rats; that’s where they got their name from. They also use their duo name to change the narrative of their home town. Also, they use the phrase, “Amaroto adl’u cheese,” which translates to ‘ rats who eat cheese ‘ but means two rats ( people for Alexandra ) who spend serious money.
