It will be the first time that a South African hip-hop artist performs at the festival.

The news comes amidst a great start to the year for SA music, after Black Coffee was announced to perform at US music festival Coachella (more on that here), and AKA was announced by the BBC as one of the brightest international acts to watch in 2016 (more on that here).
