The Reason Why Maskandi Artists Won Song Of The Year Consecutively Is Not Because AmaZulu Are The Majority Of South Africa.
There Are Many Different Tribes In South Africa. Maskandi Won Because You Have A Small Group Of People Supporting Each Other. People Of Natal Have A Very Supportive Mindset When It Comes To Each Other. I’ve Seen This Even When Zuma Was President.
Thousands Of Zulus Would Attend His Rallies. There’s So Much Cultural Concentration It’s Almost As If The Rest Of The World Doesn’t Exist. Go To A Taxi Rank You’ll Find AmaZulu. Go To The Hostel. Where Ever You’ll Find AmaZulu.
The Economy Circulates Within That Circle. Nigerians Do This Too. Congolese & A Few Other Groups. Mainly However There’s A Divide In Africa.
I think SABC is to be blame for the way it run this “song of the year” campaign.
Each of it’s 18 station must nominate their top 10 nominees and SABC construct a list of most nominated per station not by number and allow for national voting. Not these bullshitting of one station determining the rest of SA.
I don’t even know that damn song of the year because I never heard of it.
I bet 70% of SA doesn’t know it. On the flip side many of us are not Vendas or Pedis but we have heard Makhadzi, Master KG Nomcebo etc and this continuing snup of these artists with escalate the tribalism deep even further.
It’s not that Zulus love each other better, it’s about Zulus rather loving each other than loving other nation.
