Sossi And Armand Joubert Unite To “Slag” The Club Scene With Explosive New Anthem
South African electro force Sossi and powerhouse vocalist Armand Joubert have joined forces to drop “Slag”, a fierce new club track that redefines the word slay in Afrikaans.
“Slag” is a bold, beat-driven anthem that fuses Armand’s undeniable vocal firepower with Sossi’s razor-sharp Afrikaans rap delivery. With its pulsing electronic production and confident lyrical energy, the track is a celebration of self-expression, confidence, and unapologetic flair.
“This is what it sounds like when two worlds collide in the club and don’t apologize for taking up space,” says Sossi. Armand Joubert adds: “We wanted to create something that celebrates individuality and power. It’s queer, it’s loud, it’s everything.”

Sossi, the electrifying new persona of South African artist Augusta Zietsman, is redefining the Afrikaans music scene with her bold fusion of electro-pop, hip-hop, and punk influences. Known for her fearless energy and satirical edge, Sossi represents a departure from Zietsman’s earlier, more introspective work, embracing a sound that’s unapologetically vibrant and dancefloor-ready.
Before adopting the Sossi moniker, Augusta Zietsman made her mark as a versatile actress and writer, with notable roles in productions like kykNET’s Dinge van ‘n Kind and Netflix’s Blood & Water. Her transition into music saw the release of her debut EP Breekgoed in 2023, a collection that delved into themes of loss and vulnerability through a blend of hip-hop, acoustic indie, and punk-rock elements. Tracks like “Probeer” and “Ontydig” showcased her storytelling prowess and emotional depth.
Sossi’s emergence marks a new chapter in Zietsman’s artistic journey. Collaborating with producer Peach van Pletzen, she introduced this alter ego with the single “Blok & Bless,” characterized by its gritty basslines and ironic commentary on the entertainment industry. The accompanying music video, directed by Regardt Visser, further amplifies Sossi’s rebellious spirit and satirical approach.
