HOT 102.7FM is proud to announce the launch of HOT Treffers – a brand-new music stream dedicated entirely to the biggest and best Afrikaans hits, available now on the HOT 1027 app and website.

Timed perfectly to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Afrikaans being recognised as an official language, HOT Treffers celebrates the rich, diverse and ever-evolving musical landscape of Afrikaans culture. From soulful ballads to feel-good bangers, the stream features hundreds of chart-toppers and nostalgic gems – carefully curated by HOT 102.7FM’s music team to reflect the spirit of the people who speak the language.

There’s an old song that says Afrikaners is plesierig – Afrikaners are fun-loving people. And while that may not capture every nuance of the Afrikaans-speaking community, it does hint at a truth: Afrikaans people love their music. It’s a love deeply rooted in culture, storytelling and everyday life. From the more traditional listeners to those who lean into alternative genres, the playlist tells a rich and varied story.

Coinciding with the launch of the stream has been Jackpot City’s sponsorship of the Flippen Lekker Friday Treffer feature on HOT 1027 Breakfast – offering great prizes to listeners for their Afrikaans song suggestions for potential playing on the show on a Friday morning. 

The Afrikaanse Taal- en Kultuurvereniging (ATKV) – an organisation dedicated to the promotion of Afrikaans language and culture – has long championed the importance of music in shaping identity and shared experience.

And now, HOT 102.7FM is bringing it all together in one stream. Whether you’re jolling to an old favourite or discovering a new anthem, HOT Treffers offers something for every Afrikaans music lover.

Listen now on the HOT 1027 app or website and join us in celebrating 100 years of Afrikaans – through the power of music.
