South African rappers like Isaac Mutant were featured on their first album $O$ in 2009.
While being known as proponents of zef-style , a South African-born style that Ninja has described as poor but [you're] fancy , the band remains controversial for their lyrics and alleged treatment of music industry colleagues.

The band also appeared as fictional versions of themselves in the film Chappie.
In 2022, accusations were brought against the band by their adopted son Tokkie du Preez, according to The South African website. The accusations were soon denied by the band and their agent.
Yo-Landi, also known as Anri du Toit, has changed her Facebook profile's name to Fafo Snuffling.
Fafo is an acronym that stands for: F-around-and-find-out.' Snuffling is a reference to her previous persona, Anica the Snuffling.
Fafo Snuffling: Same Cult' While the Snuffling page has had most of its posts removed by the administrator, new posts have been appearing on the page which follows the official page for Die Antwoord.

A new album? A small, recent edit on the Wikipedia page for Watkin Tudor Jones (Ninja/Waddy) from Die Antwoord appears under their listed albums.
According to Wikipedia, there's an album To Be Announced for 2023.
No other public announcements have been made so far.
