Amapiano heavyweight Njelic is cruising into new territory — this time behind the wheel of a major endorsement deal with international car brand Chery.

Njelic, real name Tshwanelo Motlhako, is no stranger to topping charts with bangers like Isgubhu, Imali, Wamuhle, and Shesha. But his latest power move off the stage has the industry buzzing just as loudly. Over the weekend, TshisaLIVE caught wind of Njelic’s exciting new partnership with Chery Lichtenburg, and the artist says it’s one of the biggest milestones of his career.

“This means more convenience and access to spaces and places I never imagined music would take me,” Njelic told TshisaLIVE.

He couldn’t stop gushing about the features that won him over in the Chery Tiggo 8 model. “Oh man. There’s so much to love, but I’ll mention a few that stole my heart. The vehicle has an air purifier — great for my sinuses — it keeps the air inside fresh and clean. And the wireless CarPlay? Perfect for whoever’s on DJ duty during our road trips. The space is also incredible, enough to fit the whole family comfortably.”

While celebrating this luxury lifestyle moment, Njelic is also making noise on the music front. His latest album, The Doctor’s Laboratory, is out now and gaining traction for its rich amapiano textures and experimental flair. When asked about what fans can expect from his creative hub, Garage FM, Njelic teased more sonic treats on the horizon.

“Expect exciting collaborations — one with Mnqobi Yazo is coming soon. We’ve also released an amazing album through Garage FM Studioz called Pump One, which showcases young, up-and-coming talent. I’d love to hear from fans — their feedback means everything to us.”

Whether he’s in studio or on the road, it’s clear Njelic is all gas and no brakes. And from the sound of it, this is only the beginning of a much bigger journey.
