With electrifying performances, celebrity guests, and a crowd roaring with energy, the day ended with Crazy Destroyers being crowned the 2025 Red Bull Mzansi Crew Battle Champions.
The Pretoria-born duo, Sleek Nation (24) and Tsebetsa Boy (22), from Soshanguve, Mabopane, clinched the title after an intense, crowd-favourite battle against the formidable True Skhanda Movers.
