South Africans can be creative and sometimes they take it too far. People feel this has resulted in a video clip that is doing the rounds on social media. The guy recorded a hip hop song dissing President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The man also seems to support former SABC DJ Ngizwe Mchunu’s stance of "Ayikhale" while also criticising the government following the arrest of former President Jacob Zuma.
Among other things, the singer, who copies Eminem’s song Mockingbird, says that many people have lost jobs since the lockdown was introduced but Ramaphosa only lost his iPad.
The viral clip was uploaded by @KulaniCool and has sparked reactions on Twitter.
