I am a lady from Botswana, I dont understand Zulu but when I am down I play this song and I get back up and go on to victory. Its my victory song. Its like God tells me to play it and through this song and prayers I conquer any issue I have.

Greetings my Southie/S@Utie/people. I love South African culture accompanied by the varying range beautiful people. This song used to be played all the time on “Channel O”, In Nigeria🇳🇬 through satellite television. We(my family and I)had only three 3.5 channels(CNN, Cartoon Network/TCM and Channel O).We watched Channel O a lot. Kwaito music was strange at first to us, as we mostly listened to “Bubble Gum Pop” (Chaka Chaka mostly) which formed most of our knowledge of South African Music, My brothers and I loved this song.It was played frequently back in the early 2000’s. R.I.P Mduduzi Edmund Tshabalala AKA Mandoza . My love and ❤️ to SA, From Lagos, Nigeria.
Remembered when this video came out, it was on heavy rotation on "Channel O", (DSTV). Some of us in Nigeria got to know him and his contemporaries (like Proverb and the rest) on DSTV
It's only when I hit my 30s I began to understand why my father loved this song. Back when I was a teenager I was confused why an old man was listening to Mandoza 😅
