Welcome to Genius South Africa!Genius is the biggest lyric site on the internet, and here, we have a group of users working hard to add South African music to the site!How to get involved?Say Hi! Let us know you're a South African user (or even just a fan of South African music!).

You can also add your name to this list and introduce yourself in the annotation.

Transcribe Lyrics! If you're unsure of what to transcribe, take a look at our South African Releases 2023 calendar! A lot of the albums and singles on there have some missing lyrics, so there's always plenty to transcribe. -> Contact one of our Transcribers @Gift_RealG for more info on transcription.

Artists
Before adding a new artist name make sure that artist doesn't exit on the site as yet.

If there are two artists of the same or similar name(s), use country code (SA) e.g. Jimmie would be "Jimmie (SA)" to disambiguate one of them.

You can also use music genres or artist roles e.g. Jimmie could be, "Jimmie (Rap)", "Jimmie (Prod)" etc.

Verification
