"One thing I like about Shabba Shabba is that he is not violent towards the fans."

@msmonakhisi replied:

"The best funny thing I saw on the internet today. Good replica, plan B. You've got to agree that SA is a movie. Deep down, I like this. I can't find the option to download. I hope it was planned that they create this so that he attends all shebe's gigs while he is in prison, and I hope shebe will still get his share."
