Launched in December, the resulting flood of entries via Soundcloud were narrowed down to the top three finalists by judges DJ Oskido, DJ Sabby and Durban Gogo. The DJ finalists (Candii, Zelco and Nkanyezi) then battled against each other live on YFM’s The Best Drive show on Friday, with a popular listeners’ vote deciding the winner.

The prize also includes an abundance of other opportunities from Budweiser to further help develop his career. As we always say ‘Kings step up and seize their opportunity.’”
