The kids have spoken!
Cassper Nyovest, Minnie Dlamini and Black Coffee are some of the coolest celebs in South Africa.
The stars won awards at the annual Sunday Times Generation Next Awards which took place on Friday (8 May). The awards indicate what brands SA’s youth – aged between 8 and 22 – deem ‘cool’.
Cassper, who has had a successful year, walked away with the Coolest Local Musician award. Rappers K.O and AKA came in second and third place respectively.
The Doc Shebeleza star, who revealed that his family was held at gunpoint, took to twitter to show off his award.
