Latest update - June 24, 2025
This pancocojams post presents a chronological listing of all the YouTube gwijos that I have come across as of this date (September 13, 2021) that have the name "Beyonce" in their title.
These videos were published on YouTube from Oct 2018 through August 2021.
Hyperlinks are given for each entry in this list along with a brief description of the video.
In addition, brief information (including the video's publisher, the length of the video, and statistical information as of September 12, 2021) is also given for each entry on this list.
With one exception, all of these "Beyonce" gwijo videos feature male singers. Most of
these videos are very brief (less than 1 minute) and most of these videos have no comments in their discussion threads.
The content of this post is presented for folklore, historical, and cultural purposes.
All copyrights remain with their owners.
Thanks to the composer/s of these "Beyonce" gwijos. Thanks also to all those who are featured in these videos and thanks to the publishers of these videos on YouTube.

Additions and corrections to this list (including descriptions) are very welcome.

When I revisisted this pancocojams post on June 24, 2025, I learned that most of these videos are no longer available on YouTube. I've embedded the videos that are still available in this post.

Update June 24, 2025: The name "Beyonce" in these featured songs is the very popular African American vocalist who sings R&B, Pop, Hip Hop, and country music.
These songs don't refer to the male gwijo vocalist in 2024 on whose stage name is Beyonse (also written as "Beyonce).nce is the person who is named in these South African amagwijo

CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF YOUTUBE "BEYONCE" GWIJOS
[Pancocojams Editor's Note:
It's likely that these "Beyonce" gwijos were sung before one was published online.
The publishing dates for these videos aren't necessarily the date that these videos were made.
If you are aware of "Beyonce" gwijos that were sung before October. 2018 please share
that information in the comment section below. Thanks! ]

Description: Gumede is a very highly regarded lead singer of amagwijo.
In this video Gumede is standing in the center of a semi-circle of other teenage boys. The singers wear regular clothes (not school uniforms). All of the singers stand relatively still, but toward the end of the video, some of them begin to snap their fingers to the beat of this song.
A commenter in the discussion thread for another video [March 13, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MbW6_G1Pl4&ab_channel=GwijoRSA below] credits Gumede for starting the trend for this gwijo.

Title "Beyonce Gwijo"
Publisher - Gwijo ZA
Description: This is the only YouTube video that I found of girls singing the "Beyonce"
gwijo.
Some South African females in their school uniforms are part of an outdoors audience outdoors for a progam that includes male students singing the “Beyonce” gwijo. The girls begin to sing that song harmonizing with the boys. Unfortunately this video clip ends waaay too soon with the scene of the girls moving in a procession while singing this song.
