As an added bonus: the remix of the song, featuring the talented Burna Boy, is currently at number five on the same chart!
The song has been continuing to garner international attention and wow audiences across the globe, not only on the charts, but by sparking many dance challenges as well.
The Department of Arts, Sports and Culture decided to thank Master KG and Nomecebo Zikode for bringing so many people together, not only locally, but internationally as well, by officially naming them young ambassadors.

Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Nathi Mthethwa, not only thanked them, but also mentioned that the song is evidence of how strong the impact of the creative arts can be no matter your nationality, age or language.
Naturally, Master KG took to Twitter to celebrate and share his excitement over the success of his track, while also letting everyone know that his now iconic "wanitwa mod" line will be staying.
