In a defining moment for South Africa’s new generation of musical talent, Janesh and Abi Wa Mampela were officially awarded Gold and Multi-Platinum plaques for their breakout hits Bao Jelasa 2.0 and Selaleng. The accolades were presented by Virgin Music Group during a special edition of the Lekompo Balcony Mix, a cultural staple known for spotlighting the freshest sounds from the underground and township scenes.

The awards signal a major milestone for the two rising stars, whose fusion of streetwise energy and infectious production has earned them devoted fans across the country. Bao Jelasa 2.0 and Selaleng have not only topped charts but have also become staples at parties, clubs, and TikTok trends, further proof of their impact and reach.

Abi Wa Mampela took a moment to reflect on the achievement, sharing gratitude for the fans and collaborators who helped elevate the tracks to certified success. The recognition, he said, is as much about the community behind the music as it is about the artists themselves.

The celebration unfolded during the Lekompo Balcony Mix, a performance series that has grown into one of the most influential platforms for showcasing emerging South African talent. Known for its rooftop vibes and genre-defining sets, the event has become a go-to space for music discovery and cultural fusion.

Lekompo’s TikTok presence has also played a key role in amplifying these hits, drawing millions of views and creating viral moments that fuel the momentum of artists like Janesh and Abi. As the two artists bask in this well-earned recognition, it’s clear that they’re not just riding a wave—they’re helping shape it.
