At the beginning of last year we received the results of the Inaugural Most Influential Young South Africans of 2016 and now Avance Media is back with the 2017 edition. This time around, Cassper Nyovest topples the Most Influential Young South Africans in Entertainment list after the massive year he's had. He dropped what a lot of people can deem a "classic" in Thuto, he went on to announce his partnership with Ciroc as their ambassador as well as filling up FNB Stadium to name a few things.
It seems that the people agree and he is the highest listing hip hop act on the Top 100 names list which includes other influential names from multiple industries (either than entertainment or media). Cassper returns to the list after peaking at number 12 last year with Nasty C being the Most Influential Young South African in Entertainment in 2016 peaking at number 3. Well done Mufasa, we can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2018.
