- ZWANE, ALSO known as Uncle Waffles, is a true depiction of Generation Z, the demographic cohort shaped by the digital age and shifting financial landscape.
Speaking to FORBES AFRICA about her trending accomplishments, Zwane says becoming an artist was not her initial plan. Destiny ordained it. And how.
“During the Covid-19 lockdown, I was working for a broadcasting company. I was doing small interviews with creatives here and there,” Zwane says. “And then one day I interviewed a DJ.” Zwane asked the DJ if she too could learn the art.
“It went from just a conversation to a couple of sessions, to eight hours a day for nine months, to falling in love with something I didn't think I could love. I took a risk; I put out a small post I edited on Picsart, [and here I am].”

Her and her team do a good job at making it seem like everything she does is new and we’ve never seen it before in South Africa, South African artists have broken the ground on the international market many time before her,with her it seems like a competition with other amapiano artists on some look what I’ve done compared to you it’s very off putting, as someone who is borrowing the genre she should definitely be appreciative to the ones that come before instead of making it seem like a competition, I was really rooting for her until I noticed how they choose to brand her, the aim is to push amapiano forward not make it competitive
I’m so confused by first amapiano act to perform at Coachella, wasn’t it the major league dj’s??
Yall didn't get it
She said "Internationally they don't understand the music, but they need to understand it through you"
You better get off from that deck and shake that ass off 🔥❤🔥🧨
Im a pro dj and i was watching her set and it was preloaded >> shes not doing anything , please go watch !!
Thank you so much for such amazing gems!!! See you Forbes! I’m coming💚🥂
she is so smartttt I love the way she speaks
❤
Uncle 💕
