POLOKWANE – It’s not everyday that you see the Premier of Limpopo, Chupu Mathabatha busting a move, but to celebrate the success of Jerusalema, he got in on the fun with Master KG.
The Premier, alongside the MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, Thandi Moraka, hosted a meet and greet with Master KG at his home in Tooseng village earlier today where the duo discussed fame and the importance of support and working hard. Master KG, whose hit song is now the number one Shazamed song in the world, says he appreciated the support given by the premier.
“I am not Master KG without the support I get from the local government and I promise to keep producing good music,” he said.

Mathabatha advised Master KG to manage his fame and said the province was proud of his efforts. “From the the first time I heard your music, I told myself that this young man is going places,” he said.
As Jerusalema continues gaining global popularity, Master KG is making a name for himself as he, Nomcebo Zikode and Burna Boy jointly become the first African acts to chart on the Billboard Global 200 chart at number 45.
