Kwaito (derived from the Afrikaans word "Kwaai", in the sense of "hot"), this particular musical form emerged in the 1990s, deriving much of its rhythms and words from the myriad of cultures in South Africa, particularly as a blend of seSotho, isiZulu, English, and Afrikaans lyrics.
Used in shows, films and plays, it gradually became part of the performance culture and theatre of the country. Used for example in pantsula performances.
