Earlier this year, DJ Maphorisa partnered with global tech brand HONOR, teaming up with DJ Tira to launch the #HONORX9cOpenVerseChallenge on TikTok.

The challenge invited aspiring musicians and content creators to show off their lyrical skills, with a beat created by Maphorisa and Tira. The grand prize? A cool R20,000 in cash, a brand-new HONOR X9c smartphone, and an exclusive studio session with the man himself.

The winner, Thaphelo Khoza (aka @soultaker_sa), was announced, and DJ Maphorisa had this to say: “OVI @SoulTaker came through with bars… let’s see what happens next week when we hit the studio.

“Huge congratulations to the winner of our #HONORX9cOpenVerseChallenge! Your bars were STRAIGHT FIRE, and you totally nailed the #HonorX9C vibe! You’re taking home:
“20K CASH
“A brand-new #HonorX9C
“A sick STUDIO SESSION with myself and @DJ Tira
“No notes needed”
