For DJ Maphorisa, he emphasised the importance of unity and embracing the Amapiano culture:

"We have built something that belongs to us. It is our sound, our voice, our movement. It is about unity, culture, power and world-class music. It is history in the making. This is not just a South Afican story. It is an Africa story, a township story and a global story."
