The song called “Blacks are fools” sang by Swatta Kamp, Slikour is causing outrage around the country with mixed feelings.
If you look at the tittle is very provocative while the content differ. Slikour is addressing some burning issues in that song and beliefs Black can do better than what they doing in life.
And Bonang Matheba”s former boyfriend was interviewed by another newspaper and said he want to apologise for the utterance, but the young man squashed that rumour that he apologised.
“I have never apologised..how could i apologise for something that i believe is the truth” he said during Mo show.
Even our political circus has join the debate and have different views about the song.
Political parties also reacted angrily to the song.
PAC president Letlapa Mphahlele says: “If you look at people who passed maths at schools and those navigating aeroplanes, blacks are in the minority and that is because of the poor education to which we were subjected.
“It is unfortunate that the artist did not grasp those fundamental realities when producing the song.”
APC president Themba Godi says: “The title of the song is a bit misguided but the message is absolutely correct. If you look at our tenderpreneurs, they waste money on alcohol and senseless parties.”
UDM leader Bantu Holomisa says: “Which planet does he come from? He should withdraw the song and apologise to avoid having people going to the Human Rights Commission to complain.
“Another question is: did he compose the song or did somebody else compose it for him?”
Azapo president Jacob Dikobo says: “It is sad that the song is sung by a black artist. It is a typical example of self-hatred and inferiority complex, something that black consciousness philosophy has been seeking to address.
“We encourage people not to buy that song and radio stations to ban it.”
DA leader Hellen Zille says: “The title is very provocative and I don’t agree with the gross generalisation it makes with reference to black people. It is wrong to generalise about any group . and there are wise people and fools in every group.
“If one puts the title aside, the song raises points that we must face honestly as a country, and these points apply to all of us.”
Cope spokesperson Buks Mahlangu says: “Where does he categorise himself? He is black? So he is equally a fool.” According to the newspaper.
