Quirky and funny and quite lovely. "Mamma mia" becomes "Mama wami". I also like the mbaqanga style guitar work as conversation with the original. Zulu steam punk moments, or something like that. youtu.be/gbljPQbxtTQ?...

Today, I am proud to be a South African. Sometimes, we are the most obnoxious people in the room, but when it matters, we get together, despite our differences, and make our argument, calmly, deliberately, and with conviction.

Afrikaner "refugees from genocide" in the US? Here I am, an Afrikaner, at the graduation ceremony of the University of Fort Hare, South Africa's oldest Black university. On stage is an Afrikaner dean. The crowd is singing an Afrikaans song in celebration of their degrees. Genocide? I think not.

The band has a new video for an old song (from 2022) made from a very, very old movie (from 1925). We have a bit of an old movie obsession right now. The lyrics are in Afrikaans, comical take on a confident guy who gets his ass kicked by a dom. youtu.be/DrV2EvCq9jg?...

Lesotho, classified as a "least developed country", exported garments to the US under the US's Africa Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA). The industry sustained around 30k jobs - important for such a small country. Slapping a 50% import duty on them is either ignorant or cruel, or both.

Ralph Rabie, aka Johannes Kerkorrel, Afrikaans singer and anti-apartheid activist, was born on 27 March 1960. He died 42 years later. I'm thinking of him today - this song is a tribute to him and the generation of Voelvry. youtu.be/ts0FoiLu_uI?...
