Okay Africa says playlists to be featured on “Stream Local” will include, among others, Mzansi Hits, Mzansi House, Amapiano Lifestyle, Afrikaanse Treffers and Mzansi Soul as well as Essentials playlists from South Africa’s biggest hip-hop artists Nasty C and Cassper Nyovest, gospel group Joyous Celebration and so much more
