DIE ANTWOORD
People who made this culture popular and known in the world are two rappers/singers from South african band called die antwoord.The group comprises Ninja and Yolandi Visser, a male/female duo.Their unique style is exemplified by their music videos and involves the alternating interplay between Yolandi's high-pitched rhymes and Ninja's swagger, both spoken with their characteristic accents.
Personally i enjoy listening to them.Thing I like about them is that you can listen to them in every mood you are in,their spots are very interesting,there is a story behind every song,they do the music and text by themselves.
Other performers who have been identified as exponents of zef include Voëlvry leader Koos Kombuis,
comic performers Corné and Twakkie (Louw Venter and Rob van Vuuren) and the comedy group Zef Sketse.
