Actress and DJ, Thuli Phongolo has teamed up with dancer and gqom DJ, Slenda da dancing DJ to form 2Faced - their DJ duo.

2Faced brings together two distinct musical genres, amapiano and gqom, in a harmonious fusion, explained Phongolo in a social media announcement.

Phongolo shared that Slenda told her the moves would be easy and she would be able to do them. but fast-forward and Phongolo was trending online.

The ‘Makoti’ actress wasn't moved by the criticism and explained that her role was to meet the professional dancer halfway by coming through with the vibes.

“BUT ke guys, 2Faced is about infusing two unique South African genres together in a collaborative way that allows both genre to shine.

“Ensuring both sounds MIX well together is key! SLENDA is a PROFESSIONAL DANCER, I’m just meeting her halfway for vibes! Let’s have fun 💃”

Phongolo also reminded critics that they will continue playing and having fun whilst they continue with the corrections.
