South Africa’s DJ Arch Junior – named the world’s youngest DJ – has purchased a top-of-the-range VW Polo GTI valued at half a million rands.
Years after becoming a social media sensation at the age of three, the Johannesburg-born entertainer is not so little anymore. He’s now a preteen and has a girlfriend, according to his social media account.
In 2015, the DJ – whose real name is Oratilwe AJ Hlongwane – made history by winning South Africa’s Got Talent, becoming the youngest contestant to ever win in the franchise.
DJ ARCH JNR SHOWS OFF POLO GTI
On his Instagram account, DJ Arch Junior showed off his flashy new ride – a Polo GTI, complete with a sunroof and low suspension.
“Shisa le 28”, he captioned the post.
In another, the 11-year-old superstar posed with his reported girlfriend, kid influencer Busisiwe Moyo.
The duo – who have teased their followers of a romance – leaned on the bumper of the pricey white car.
On the X platform, tweeps made light of DJ Arch Junior’s significant flex.
@MalumeRichie: “The only person that can ever say, ‘I started DJing while I was in my mom’s womb.’”
@lsgmst: “Yooh.. Last year, this boy was in diapers!”
@CalvinTeddy: “He got the 2023 Polo GTI. And there is me at 28 with a 2014 Ford Ranger. With a Degree”.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen DJ Arch Junior show off his luxury rides on his social media account. In other posts, the preteen has bragged about riding in style.

BREAKING RECORDS
DJ Arch Junior first shot to fame as a three-year-old who won the talent show SA’s Got Talent. He would also compete in Britain’s Got Talent and World’s Got Talent, both in 2019.
In 2017, the five-year-old – who received a standing ovation from Got Talent judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Heidi Klum – was recognised as the world’s youngest DJ.
“Since winning [South Africa’s Got Talent], the experience has been amazing. People are always happy to see me perform, and that makes me happy. I am more popular now, and I get to travel all over the world,” Oratilwe told the Sunday Times.
Despite now playing at gigs around the world, DJ Arch Junior is treated like a “normal child” whose education “comes first”.
He continued: “I really enjoy going to school. My favourite subjects are mathematics and art. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends and doing extramural activities. I don’t find juggling school and deejaying difficult as I do my school work during the week and mostly practise deejaying during weekends”.
