Uncle Waffles’ Management React To R80k Per Hour Set Rate Card Claims. Lungelihle Zwane, popularly known as Uncle Waffles, is a South African female DJ making waves in the music industry. Born and raised in Swaziland, has always been passionate about music. From a young age, she loved singing and dancing along to her favourite songs on the radio. As she grew older, this passion turned into a love for mixing and creating new sounds. After completing high school, Zwane enrolled at the University of KwaZulu-Natal to study information technology. She dropped out of university and began to focus on her DJing career
Uncle Waffles’ management team have denied that her viral rate card, which has shaken the table on the socials, is real. According to the rate card, for local gatherings held indoors the damage is R80k an hour-long set. For outdoor events, she charges 120k. But that’s cheaper compared to her international prices where she allegedly charges $25,000 (about R420,760) for festival gigs and $18,000 (about R302,947) for clubs.
Thato Tlhankana, popularly known as Kai, from Kreative Korner said he did not need to clarify the validity of the rate card. “I don’t think we need to clarify anything. Personally, I don’t want to say anything about that.”
Kreative Corner said the widely circulated rate card doing the rounds on social media does not come from their company. When asked whether the rates card was real, he said: “I don’t know, I’m not sure, I can’t say anything around the rate card. It’s based on a booking, if you are making a booking you’ll know what the rate card is.”
Yesterday, Nottingham Forest baller Jesse Lingard posted on his Instagram story that he wants South Africa’s DJing sensation Uncle Waffles to perform at his birthday party. Jesse Lingard re-posted an Uncle Waffles reel of her performing in Amsterdam and stated that he wants the Amapiano star to perform a set at his birthday party. It could be a very busy December for the young DJ, who’s grabbed the attention of other high-profile stars like Drake and Damson Idris, who supports Lingard’s former team, Manchester United. “I need @unclewaffles_ at my birthday Fr Fr (For real)”
