Former Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane has dabbled out of football as he shared his honest opinion about South African music popularly known as Amapiano.

Amapiano is the latest style of sound that has been utilised not just by South Africans but also by other African countries, especially Nigeria.

The sound, which originates from South Africa, has been accepted globally.

"The power of social media plays a huge role coupled with creativity. Unlike before when there used to be monopoly to give airtime to a few artists who had monetary relations with radio hosts or tv. Right now you do your thing & put it on social media without all those hindrances."

@mpho_toni said:

"Yes, the yanos have gone global mainly because of quality of production. It's top class πŸ‘ŒπŸΏ The new producers are doing wonders, and the singers, composers and arrangers put in a good effort to ensure what they release out there is a great product"

"South Africa is a special place. Kwaito was another one, Ofcourse the social media was not as accessible as it now. We must take advantage of this cloud and sell South Africa to the world"
