In person, Ninja’s harsh barnet, heavy brow, and “Pretty Wise” neck tattoo should be an intimidating blend. “It’s like South Africa right here,” Ninja laughs as the shakes arrive.

Sliding into the booth, Ninja, a lanky man with the kind of flat-top that hasn’t been rocked by a white rapper since Vanilla Ice’s heyday, flashes a smile punctuated by gold caps. Somewhere along the line, they even squeezed in a coffee with David Lynch and inked a deal with District 9’s director Neill Blomkamp to shoot their next promo.

Since blogged about them on 3 February 2010, the rap rave crew’s “ Enter the Ninja” and “ Zef Side” music videos have racked up over five million views on YouTube and sparked off a debate about authenticity, class and race. Today, their 56th day since becoming celebrities, Die Antwoord rappers Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er have come to Golden Acre, a run down shopping centre in Cape Town, to talk about world domination over a Wimpy milkshake.
