Goeie dag. I will disclose that I'm not from South Africa nor have I ever been to South Africa but I love your music so much. I became hooked on artists like Seether, 16 Stitch, Cutting Jade, Zen Arcade, Tweak, Springbok Nude Girls, Battery 9, Fly Paper Jet, Brasse Vannie Kaap, and Jo Day among others. Why does your country have so many great artists that no one abroad has heard of? I found out about these artists from old SA music and news sites. Are there any other artists I should check out? Did you listen to these artists? I'd be very curious to know. Thank you!

It took me years to realize Max Normal and Die Antwood is the same guy.

I had a moment like that when my friend told me Die Antwoord was in Chappie. I thought maybe Ninja was the robot but no Yolandi and Ninja are just themselves in it lol.
