Master KG and Nomcebo were thrilled about the achievement. The duo have been dominating the news lately as their special song continues to take over the airwaves worldwide.

The Limpopo muso said:

“It is a dream come true for ‘Jerusalema' to be Top 4 on the Shazam global chart. I have always adored other artists being in the chart and now it is my turn... really exciting moments. If it was not for Shazam, I don't think people around the world will easily discover my songs."

Jerusalema has charted in 26 different countries with users in France Shazaming the song the most.

Master KG also told Apple Music that his hometown in Limpopo is super proud of him.

"It was a big thing for the province. Because Limpopo, in terms of the music, we never had that thing of dominating the countries of Africa. But ever since I came and the other guys came, it's been a game-changer."

Speaking to Briefly.co.za, the vocalist on the song, Nomcebo Zikode, said:
