Themba Sekowe, widely recognized under the stage name DJ Maphorisa and also known as Madumane, is a South African DJ, record producer, and vocalist. Rooted in South Africa, he has carved out a prominent position in the country's music industry across a career spanning 2017 to 2026, working across the intersecting worlds of qgom, amapiano, afrohouse, kwaito, and alte.
Maphorisa's career growth is reflected in both the breadth of his discography and the range of artists he has worked alongside. His catalog of known releases includes Sosha Nendlu, Lwetse 2.0, Lwetse, Bang'bonile, and AIBOO — titles that trace his movement across multiple genres without anchoring to any single one. His collaborative reach extends across the African continent and into global markets, with credits alongside Wizkid, Drake, Black Coffee, Major Lazer, Kabza De Small, Kwesta, Uhuru, Focalistic, Mpura, and Young Stunna. That cross-genre, cross-border network of partnerships speaks to his consistency as a sought-after creative voice. On the label side, his work has appeared through Sound African Recordings, Columbia, New Money Gang Records, Ambitiouz Entertainment, Kgaday, Piano Hub, OVMBR/LVRN Records, FAX Records/Epic, Ero Space, Baby Blue Entertainment, and SM Entertainment West Africa Limited — a distribution footprint that spans independent African imprints and major international structures alike. His recognition within the industry has been formalized through several awards and nominations. He was named African DJ of the Year at the Soundcity MVP Awards, earned the most voted-for song distinction at the 2018 Mzansi Kwaito and House Music Awards for "Midnight Starring," and received nominations at the 2018 DStv Mzansi Viewers Choice Awards in the categories of Favourite Song of the Year and Favourite DJ.
With an active career still running through 2026 and a catalog distributed across more than ten labels on multiple continents, DJ Maphorisa remains a central and evolving presence in South African music and its global extensions. His most recent releases and ongoing partnerships continue to position him at the intersection of homegrown South African sound and international reach.
