Sing for Zuma
ANC President Jacob Zuma's second term campaign got a boost when Limpopo-based kwasa music king Malo-A-Botsheba released an album supporting his re-election in Mangaung next month.
SECOND CHANCE: Mangaung CD coverMalo-A-Botsheba is the uncle of Louis Mabokela, who is facing a charge of malicious damage to property for defacing the portrait that exposed Zuma's private parts.
His actions follow hot on the heels of mbaqanga music group Ingane Zoma also recently releasing a pro-Zuma album.
The musician, born Steven Sefofa, released the album supporting Zuma after breaking ranks with ANC leaders in Limpopo, who want Motlanthe to be party president.
In the tune Msholozi 4 Second Term, he calls on Mangaung delegates to re-elect Zuma.
"We need to give Zuma a chance to rectify his mistakes, if there are any, by giving him a second term. I enrolled for matric and failed but I'm trying for the second time. So Zuma must be given a second chance," he says.
He adds: "Those who say they want Kgalema Motlanthe are confused. When Mbeki was in power they wanted him out and said they wanted Zuma and now they want him out. I think he deserves a second term."
The 12-track album Mangaung also has two songs that hail KwaZulu-Natal premier Zweli Mkhize and Mpumalanga premier David Mabuza as good leaders.

It is indeed that Jacob Zuma deserves a second term but not because he is better than Kgalema Motlanthe but because of he is the product of the poor. Those who voted him in Polokwane during the ANC's national conference must now begin to realize that Zuma can't just be given one term because Zuma is our hope as the poor. If president Jacob Zuma is not performing very well that's our own responsibility to make sure that the ANC is doing well at the political and governmental realm.The ANCYL and Paul Mashatile the Gauteng ANC provincial chairperson with O.R Tambo region are contradicting the people because in O.R Tambo some of the people are pro Zuma and some are pro Kgalema so that's mutual those who want Zuma must support him informed by their own reasons same applies to those who support Motlanthe.
Zuma didn't became a president by accident but he was voted by the ANC deligates from the ANC branches. Some are dictated and manipulated the ANC BGM's processes to win their own agendas using the BGM as a platform to seculate slates written their own prefered candidates for the ANC presidency. Artists are also pro Zuma because they can see that Zuma can lead but there are those who don't get tenders from the government now they want to display their anger in the ANC president and that is not going to work as they wish. The ANC president won't be removed by rented deligates who want to implement some individual's agenda. Zumantashe is coming back.

Masixolentu, with due respect I have never read such nonsense in my life. If you comment is representative of the average black South African it certainly explains why the country is in such a mess. God help us if this tribal/bush mentality continues any longer.I never realized just how ignorant, uniformed and thick you people are - Only in Africa !!
