South Africa’s beloved Afro-pop duo, the Qwabe Twins, have once again captured the attention of Mzansi—this time not for their music, but for a major personal achievement. Viggy and Virginia Qwabe, who first stole the hearts of the nation during their journey on Idols SA season 15, proudly announced that they have purchased a brand-new luxury vehicle for themselves.
The twins took to Instagram on Thursday, 4 September 2025, to share the exciting news with their followers. In a video posted on their official page, the sisters can be seen collecting their latest purchase, a sleek 2025 Toyota Fortuner, directly from the dealership. The SUV, which has a starting price of around R679,100 and can go up to nearly R1 million depending on the model, marks a significant milestone in their journey both as artists and individuals.
The short clip was captioned with a heartfelt, “God thank you,” reflecting their gratitude and joy over the accomplishment.
Fans Celebrate With Them
Almost immediately, fans flooded the comment section with congratulatory messages and well-wishes. Supporters expressed not only their excitement for the new purchase but also their admiration for the twins’ growth since their early days on television.
One fan encouraged them to think long-term by adding, “Congratulations ladies, don’t forget to invest in property as well.” Another supporter wrote joyfully, “BoMnguni abahle, congratulations bantwanabasekhaya. Safe travel.” Messages of love poured in from fellow twins, community members, and music fans across the country, many describing them as an inspiration.
Others prayed for continued blessings, protection, and success in their careers, proving just how deeply the Qwabe Twins are admired beyond the stage.
From Idols SA To Chart-Topping Stars
The Qwabe Twins’ rise to fame has been nothing short of inspiring. Hailing from KwaZulu-Natal, Viggy and Virginia became household names after appearing on Idols SA season 15. Despite not taking home the title, they quickly signed to DJ Tira’s Afrotainment Records, a move that changed the course of their careers.
Their debut single, Hamba featuring DJ Tira, was released in November 2019 and became an instant hit, racking up over five million views on YouTube. The success of the track cemented their place in the South African music scene and led to the release of their debut album, The Gift of Love, in 2020.
They followed up with their second album, Words of Hope, in 2022, which peaked at number three on the South African charts. Over the years, they have received several award nominations, including a nod for Newest Find at the 2020 KZN Entertainment Awards, and continue to build a loyal fanbase.
Glow-Up That Inspires
Beyond their musical success, the Qwabe Twins have also become social media sensations. Earlier this year, they trended after fans were stunned by their body transformations and stylish looks. Known more for their music than flaunting their curves, the twins surprised many with their confidence and glow-up, further cementing their status as admired entertainers.
A Bright Future Ahead
The purchase of their new Toyota Fortuner is more than just a flashy moment—it symbolizes the hard work and resilience the twins have displayed since stepping into the public eye. For many fans, this moment reflects the importance of perseverance, faith, and dedication to one’s craft.
As the Qwabe Twins drive away in their new car, they take with them not just the joy of achievement but also the love, prayers, and support of thousands of South Africans who continue to cheer them on in every chapter of their journey.
