“We pray for peace in our beautiful land during these difficult times. God bless SA.”

The song presents as a much-needed anecdote to quell the public outcry, although now an opportunistic criminal element believed to have set in, observed Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal over the incarceration of former president Jacob Zuma.

Many untold stories feature prominently in what has become a raging cascade of suffering, particularly in parts of the two provinces at the forefront of the country's battle against total lawlessness.

South Africans reacted with glee at the song after the group – that featured prominently on the 2019 edition of America's Got Talent – reached the final of arguably the biggest TV talent show competition in the world.

A video of his rant was posted to Twitter and has since been making the rounds, dividing views and, in the case of Zuma-Sambudla, drawing praise. The video was captioned:

The Ndikhokhele hitmaker criticised blacks and celebrities who choose not to speak up against the violence that is threatening to collapse the country's already ailing economy.
