Recently in South Africa, a form of music related to house music known under the name Kwaito has developed, although the country has been home to its own form of South African jazz for some time, while Afrikaans music is completely distinct and composed mostly of traditional Boere musiek, and forms of folk and rock music.
I Sydafrika har en form for musik som house kendt under navnet kwaito udviklet sig, og landet har været hjemlandet for sin egen form for sydafrikansk jazz en stund, mens afrikaans-musik er en helt egen form og består hovedsagelig af traditionel boere musiek og former for folkemusik og rock.
