Here are Ama 2000 who are doing Things
Although the South African entertainment industry isn’t as forward-thinking and rapidly progressive as our American counterparts, we can’t be oblivious to the amazing fact that our home-brewed talent continues to paint the future in bright colours!
These batch of stars have taken the baton from previous child stars such as, Mzambiya and Msawawa (to name a few).
Let’s take a look at some Mzansi’s youngin’s that form part of the #Ama2000 era!
1. Owami Mafokate
The 18-year-old DJ is working hard to cement her own name into the history books of music. Owami’s parents, Arthur Mafokate and Queen Sesoko cut an iconic figure in the world of music.
Owami is following suit, but she’s going about it her own way!
2. Bothlale Boikanyo
There’s no denying the raw talent that is Bothlale Boikanyo. Many were introduced to her exhilarating style of poetry, on etv’s talent competition SA’s Got Talent.
At only 12 years old, she was announced as the winner in 2012. The 18-year-old has since ventured into acting and we can only look forward to seeing how her talents keep unraveling!
3. DJ Arch Junior
It’s hard to believe that DJ Arch Junior is only seven years old. He’s so skilled at rocking the turntables that he could easily host masterclasses for aspiring DJs.
During interviews, the unwavering support from his parents is often mentioned. Not too long ago, Daily Sun reported that Arch has been promoted to grade two! Bravo!
4. Yanga Sobetwa
Yanga Sobetwa won the season 14 Idols title at age 16 – leaving many of her fans excited for what’s more to come from her
ZAlebs reported that there were allegations of abandoning her grade 12 studies, but Lil Sis fiercely defended herself by clearly stating that she has decided to take a break from her studies and solely focus on all things music.!
