Dr Victor & The Rasta Rebels have been part of South African live music for more than four decades, building a reputation around upbeat reggae, pop, R&B and soul with the kind of songs that are made for a crowd.
Led by singer, songwriter, musician and producer Victor Khojane, the group became widely known through tracks including “Gimme Hope Jo’Anna”, “Shambala”, “I Love to Truck” and “If You Wanna Be Happy”. Over the years, Dr Victor has also performed alongside international acts including Tina Turner, Paul Simon, Gloria Estefan and Janet Jackson.
Dr Victor’s career began with bands including CC Beat and Taxi before The Rasta Rebels emerged in the early 1990s. What followed was a long run of albums, live performances and songs that helped make the group a familiar name across South Africa.
Their music has always leaned towards the feel-good side of live entertainment. Reggae rhythms, strong melodies and an easy connection with an audience give the band a sound that works particularly well when an event needs energy rather than background music.
Dr Victor & The Rasta Rebels remain active on the South African live circuit in 2026, performing at concerts, entertainment venues and private and corporate events.
For corporate functions, festivals, gala evenings and celebrations looking for a recognisable South African act, Dr Victor & The Rasta Rebels bring decades of stage experience, familiar songs and a performance style built around getting the audience involved.
