Having driven the heights of the Amapiano genre since 2020, the 35-year-old from Soshanguve in Pretoria believes that the government is getting in the way of artists’ work and money.

Maphorisa is aware that Amapiano is enjoying its international zenith but the challenge of work VISA’s has forced event cancellations.

“I love to see people growing, Amapiano artist/djs are doing more international gigs now which means we represent Sauta Arts n Culture should be doing something about this, we need ur support not just moneym,” Maphorisa said via X (formally known as Twitter).

 

 

“We struggling with getting VISAS [sic] we spend too much money to get them,” the co-creator of the smash hit Mnike added.

FELLOW ARTISTS AND CRITICS
Making additional points, Maphorisa took a couple of shots at local musicians about their silence on the VISA hitches and his supposed gate-keeping of the Amapiano genre.

“Don’t just read that tweet n mize (ignore) I’m fighting for you here,” he added.

“I’m the reason why artists get good deals with labels cause I showed them how to do it for free even,” he said. “I’m game a changer. I made artists to have a big appetite when it comes to music business Tell me if I’m lying n why if I’m 😊”

“You had people saying ‘oh she’s dying of Aids, she’s dying of Cancer’ I mean just simple diabetes they couldn’t just say ‘let me Google it and get what’s up with this thing she’s talking about’” said Ndaba in the interview.In the same sit-down the actress spoke about the disappointment of how people ignorantly judged her from afar, without really knowing what was wrong with her.

“A person who’s observing from a distance has got their own opinion of what they think is eating you up. They assess, they conclude, they announce. She’s this, she’s that … that is what she is.
