Launched in December, the resulting flood of entries via Soundcloud were narrowed down to the top three finalists by judges DJ Oskido, DJ Sabby and Durban Gogo. The DJ finalists (Candii, Zelco and Nkanyezi) then battled against each other live on YFM’s The Best Drive show on Friday, with a popular listeners’ vote deciding the winner.

To have the chance to show what I’m made of at the biggest music festival in Africa, on the same stage as so many DJ legends, is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am ready to #BeAKing and show them how we do it Mzansi style,” said DJ Nkanyezi, a Durban-born, Joburg-resident house DJ.
