One of South Africa’s most recognisable female amapiano DJ duos, Tango Supreme, has gone their separate ways after years of building a successful brand together.
Industry sources close to the duo confirmed the split after speculation, stating that the split had been brewing for some time, with differences in ambition and personal values eventually creating a divide between the two.
“Their values changed over time,” a source claimed. “One became more ambitious than the other, and the competition between them slowly started kicking in. It reached a point where they were no longer moving in the same direction.”
Neither member has publicly addressed the reported split; however, they have been taking bookings separately.
Tango Supreme is made up of Tiisetso Moncho and Nomfundo Khumalo, two South African DJs who turned a long-standing friendship into one of the country’s most exciting female amapiano acts.
Khumalo had dreamed of becoming a DJ from a young age, developing a reputation among friends for identifying hit songs before they became popular. She eventually pursued DJ lessons after overcoming her fear of performing behind the decks. Moncho, meanwhile, grew up in a musical family, with her grandfather playing instruments. Although she never became an instrumentalist herself, she found her calling as a DJ.
After discovering they shared the same passion and career aspirations, the pair joined forces and launched Tango Supreme, determined to stand out in South Africa’s male-dominated DJ scene. Their chemistry behind the decks, energetic performances and signature slogan, “It Takes Two To Tango”, quickly earned them a loyal following.
Over the years, Tango Supreme established themselves as one of the country’s busiest female DJ acts, performing across South Africa and internationally while helping take amapiano to global audiences. They became known not only for their DJ sets but also for creating dance trends and viral moments that resonated with fans on social media.
The duo also ventured into music production, releasing tracks including Club88, Club55 featuring Major League Djz, The First with Yumbs, Bay’2, Asi Regreti, No Escape, Smangele, Makhekhe and their latest album, 2 The Moon, further cementing their place in the amapiano movement.
Their reported split marks the end of a partnership that inspired many aspiring female DJs and producers. While it remains unclear whether the breakup is permanent or whether either artist will continue under the Tango Supreme name, fans are now waiting to see what the next chapter holds for both Moncho and Khumalo.
