Legendary South African producer DJ Mujava, best known for his iconic 2008 smash hit Mugwanti wa Pitori, is officially back on the streets—and fans are buzzing.
Once a powerhouse of Pretoria’s dance music scene, Mujava (real name Elvis Maswanganyi) had faded from the public eye following years of personal struggles, including a very public battle with drug addiction. For a long time, whispers about his condition circulated online, but nothing was confirmed—until now.
After spending a significant period in rehab, sources close to the artist confirm that DJ Mujava has completed treatment and is now focusing on rebuilding both his life and his music career. A short video shared on social media recently showed Mujava walking through the streets of Atteridgeville, appearing grounded and healthier, sparking hope and excitement among fans.
“He looks good. Like the old Mujava we knew,” commented one follower. “We just want the music back!”
DJ Mujava’s story is a reminder of both the dark side of fame and the strength it takes to rise again. Many in the local industry are calling his return a second chance—not just for the man, but for the raw, unfiltered sound he helped pioneer.
