Gravitationally lensed quasars are valuable, but extremely rare, probes ofobservational cosmology and extragalactic astrophysics. Progress in thesefields has been limited just by the paucity of systems with good ancillarydata. Here we present a first spectroscopic confirmation of lenses discoveredin the Southern Sky from the DES and KiDS-DR3 footprints. % optical groundbased surveys in the Southern Hemisphere. We have targeted 7 high-gradedcandidates, selected with new techniques, with NTT-EFOSC2, and confirmed 5 ofthem. We provide source spectroscopic redshifts, image separations, $gri$photometry and first lens model parameters. The success rate of ~70% confirmsour forecasts, based on the comparison between the number of candidate doublesand quadruplets in our searches over a ~5000 sq.deg footprint and theoreticalpredictions.
