999 Music
The label gave birth to Kwaito music a, then new genre of music that is still unique to South Africa. Kwaito has had significant influence on our music and culture since the early nineties. Kwaito led a post-Apartheid township subculture into the mainstream. In the backdrop of a transforming South Africa, Kwaito took shape in the township of Soweto, at the same time Nelson Mandela took office as the first democratically elected president of South Africa. The first Kwaito single to become a hit in South Africa was the song “Kaffir” by Arthur Mafokate, which illustrated the freedom of expression resulting from political liberation in South Africa. It has become a form of self-expression and a way of life—it is the way many South Africans dress, speak, and dance. It is a street style as lifestyle, where the music reflects life in the mainstream culture.
