Almost everyone on social media has jumped on the #SlyzaTsotsi bandwagon, posting videos of themselves showing off their pantsula dance moves.

The DJ duo ‘Major League’ (Bandile and Banele Mbere) have revived the old kwaito infused with Pretoria house music in their new single that has everyone dancing to it.

Everyone from the Ayeye crew which includes Khanyi Mbau and Jessica Nkosi to Mpho Modikwane posted their own #SlyzaTsotsi videos instagram.

One-half of the Major League DJs, Bandile Mbere said that he thinks it is going to be the biggest song mostly in Pretoria.

“Slyza Tsotsi is growing, I think it is going to be the biggest song in Pretoria, because the sound comes from Soshanguve,” he said.

The song, according to Bandile was inspired by the sounds of Mujava, who is famous for his ‘mogwanti wa Pitoria’ song.

“We are trying to take things back a bit … so we just took the sound from Mujava’s time.”

The song, SlyzaTsotsi by the twin DJs Major League has been making rounds and has been downloaded over 250 000 times.

“About 280 000 downloads now, that’s a lot of people downloading the song.

“We put it out for free just to push it because we are upcoming DJs, We are not that big yet so we have to put out things to promote ourselves.”

Bandile said that they will be releasing a music video in three weeks time.

He said that the speculations that the music video will just be a compilation of the videos sent through by their fans were nothing to go by.

“We are going to see different crews dancing. People are just assuming,” he added.

Here is Cassper Nyovest doing the SlyzaTsotsi:
