Music maestro Arthur Makofate was thrust into the spotlight in the 1990s, and since then, he has continued to impress Mzansi with his talent.

Arthur kicked off his career as a dancer for artists like Brenda Fassie and he went on to release his own music that catapulted him to superstardom. The musician is considered an industry genius with numerous awards under his belt.

It is evident that he is the King of Kwaito and everything he touches turns to gold as he founded his own record label, 999 Music Label in 1992. His contribution to the growth of the music industry is tremendous, from nurturing young talent to breaking records with album sales. He is hell-bent on taking SA music to the next level of greatness. In spite of his success, Arthur doesn't seem to be slowing down or marveling at her success - not at all!

According to Wikipedia Arthur is 59 years old and many are in disbelief of this. Social media users have been debating about his age after a post shared on Facebook. 



In a tweet he wrote "I love this country so much , apparently I am turning 60 soon, I must be the most fittest in SA, gimme that award soon. My kids just asked as to how I do it, that every week there is a trending story about me. Thanks for the props and for always keeping me relevant."

It is also hard for many people to believe that Master KG is only 26 years old. The musician turned 25 years in 2021 left many people debating about his age online. Many thought he looked older than his age and he later tweeted, “Okay guys I was kidding I’m 35 years old ne batho baka.”

Based on the laughing emojis and the timing of the tweet, it appears that his tweet was a joke. Often, it's said that we do not look our age, and that age is just a number. Makhadzi who was born on the 30th of June 1996 is also 26 years old and many don't believe that. The musician recently became a homeowner after buying herself a stunning mansion and she was widely acclaimed for her success. 

She recently made history by becoming the first SA artist to fill up a stadium in Botswana and she recently launched her own skin care product- Mavoda. Many argue that he doesn't look like she’s 26 years old, well even her success doesn't look like she’s only 26 years old because sis has achieved a lot of greatness. 

It is without a doubt that queen of Limpopo Makhadzi, is one of the country's most successful female musicians and she is on a winning streak. Mdu Masilela is aging like fine wine. Even though he is 52 years old, this musician still looks like he is in his 40s. Just look at that healthy beard and that lovely smile. Don't you think so?


Somizi is also turning 50 years old this year can you imagine it? Apparently he is engaged now to a man called Pholoso Mohlala who is an actor and a businessman.
