Refiloe Maele Phoolo, popularly known as Cassper Nyovest, has never been shy about his origins and the life experiences that moulded him into the ‘resilient’ young man he is today.
Cassper Nyovest performed to a full capacity Dome arena over the weekend, fulfilling his dream and in the process achieved a feat that no other South African artist had ever achieved.
In a statement on Monday, President Zuma congratulated the musician.
