Afrikaans

South African language, developed out of the Dutch spoken in the country since the first Dutch East India Company settlement in the Cape, established in 1652. Afrikaans was considered a dialect of Dutch – known as “Cape Dutch” – until recognised as a language in the late 19th century. From the Dutch for “African”.

A Reece

The king of South African rap, if not African rap. If you disagree with me, go argue with your ancestors. He hails from the great city of Pitori. He has the hip hop industry on his back like he is Quasimodo.


A Reece is the greatest rapper alive. He is the G.O.A.T!
