Amapiano DJ Kabza De Small had tongues wagging when he rocked a set at Konka Soweto kitted out in fashionable attire, which has become synonymous with a large section of urban Zulu-speaking people in Mzansi.
Uncle Vinny was also on hand to paint the town red in his own ensemble of the contemporary dress code popularised by "Amabhinca", a person who practices their culture by, among other things, wearing traditional Zulu attire and listening to Maskandi music.

The two performed at the popular Pimville restaurant and nightclub dubbed the "millionaire's playground" on Monday night. They were seen wearing Brentwood single pleat trousers complete with Carvelas, an expensive Italian shoe brand that retails for upwards of R1 695.
In the case of Kabza, who's not been shy to flaunt his fashion-forwardness – thanks to his Instagram page that has, in recent times, paid tribute to his love for the two brands – he completed the look with isiphandla, a traditional IsiZulu bangle made from goat or cow skin.

According to popular belief, isiphandla represents a connection to the ancestors and those who sport it cannot cut it off without their ancestors' blessing. Kabza and his protégé's signature swag was unmissable by Saffas on social media.
Pleasantly surprised tweeps flooded the Konka Twitter page's mentions with some colourful reactions.
"Nkabi level," read the short caption.

"I'm not dissing our traditions or anything, is Kabelo's sphandla supposed to be that ungovernable?"
@BongweOmuhle said:
"I'm starting to think chilling with Big Zulu ungasimZulu is not a good idea."
@Mphozesta added:
"Not my people thinking they own this dress code. Firstly it's a combination of international brands, with that said, yes it's more popular with Ndebele (Zim), Xitsonga (Limps) and, of course, Amabhinca. Munemal'yenza ok'thandayo."
Sol Phenduka makes fun of Kabza's ropey outfit
Briefly News previously reported that it all comes together when fashion meets status, and this is the exact message we think Kabza attempted to convey when he decided to rock one of the stringiest outfits Mzansians have seen.
Not to be outdone, outspoken Podcast and Chill with Mac G co-host Sol Phenduka took to Twitter to, shall we say, serve SA tweeps with more of his puns above a picture of the DJ in an elaborate Rick Owens mega-laced cargo jacket with matching trousers and boots.
Like Kabza, Black Motion's Murdah Bongz often rocks the Rick Owen brand but goes a little less berserk with the strings by alternating between an item of plain T-shirts or trousers in between the strings.
