"Sizwe, nah, chief 👀 love your list, but facts don’t lie. If we’re talking about the greatest South African albums of the last 30 years in terms of SALES, the numbers crown other legends. Let’s deal with receipts: Top-Selling SA Albums (Last 30 Years): Brenda Fassie - Memeza (1998) ~700,000 sold (BIGGEST ever 🇿🇦), Brenda Fassie - Nomakanjani (1999) ~350,000, Mandoza - Nkalakatha (2000) ~350,000, Malaika - Vuthelani ~350,000. Respect to Thandiswa, TKZee, Teargas, and Kabza, their albums are CULTURAL GIANTS. But in terms of hard sales history, Brenda Fassie, Mandoza, Kwesta, AKA, etc., still hold the throne. Numbers don’t lie, vibes do."
