Watch! Njelic Explains Why Amapiano Should Bring Fans To SA Instead Of Taking Amapiano To The World. DJ Njelic is a South African deejay, vocalist, performer, comedian, and actor. His main focus as a DJ is Amapiano, a style of house music that originated in SA.
In an interview with JazziQ on his podcast, Njelic questioned why amapiano artists are taking amapiano to outside countries instead of bringing fans in South Africa. “Why can’t we attract them here, in South Africa rather than us taking it to them and taking amapiano outside. Because they say a lot of sh*t when they are that side. Because when you are in a foreign country, you are pleasing the master, you want them to take you seriously. But when you are here, when you are home there’s advantage,”Njelic said.

In an interview with Level Up Live Music Sessions, the Mzansi entertainer was asked where he came up with DJ Njelic. He replied, The name Njelic started as Njenji. My name is Tshwarelo, my surname is Motlhako, and back then, in high school, I used to play soccer while deejaying elsewhere. But now, for soccer, it is easier for you to get a name, so I was named Njenji because of Palacious.
Speaking about his mother, he said that he adores her and thinks she was a cheery person. He also holds her in high regard and appreciates her for taking care of him through his childhood. “My mother was a very jolly person who loved speaking. She was one of those mothers who were never afraid of reprimanding you. She was very popular in the community, and everyone wanted to be around her. She was very outspoken, loved alcohol, and just hanging out. He also expressed that he grew up with a step-father whom he described as a good man who loved to work. The man stepped up and became a father figure for Njelic. He added, At first, I didn’t like the idea of him dating my mother, but as time went on, I noticed that this person is making m mother happy. You cant give your mother all the happiness in the world.”
