"But still, voting does not change the situation. The rich gets richer, the poor remains at the bottom. Those who are connected expand their connections. The youth must just uprise."

"Hay nawe marn, have you ever been this loud about the lack of service delivery, corruption allegations?"

@SimonWaMoeti commented:

"You're using your platform to mislead people. When government don't deliver you are no where to be found, because now it's election time you want to sound radical. La Bhora Shimmy."

Shimza ignites heated debate over Thukzin's 'Phuze Remix'

In other entertainment news, Briefly News reported that Afro-House DJ Shimza sparked a heated debate on social media recently when he claimed Dlala Thukzin's Phuze Remix belongs to Afrohouse music.

The people of Durban claimed that Thukzin has been a Gqom DJ and producer for years while some Amapiano fans argued that his new banger belongs to the yanos because it features Sir Trill and late Mpura - who both have dropped some dope yanos tunes.

According to TshisaLIVE, Shimza took to Twitter a few days ago and didn't mince his words when he claimed the hot tune belongs to the Afro-house genre. Shimza said: "We claiming this song as Afrohouse, let’s not argue!"
