As Group is Banned to peform in Zimbabwe
Top SA band Freshlyground have added a cheeky spin to the music video of their latest single, Chicken to Change, in a bold challenge to Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe.
The video, done in collaboration with the satirical Internet show ZA News, is the second for the seven-member band’s album Radio Africa.
In the song, lead singer Zolani Mahola sings about what a noble “supernova” Mugabe was, but then says that somewhere along the way, he fell.
“An iridescent example of honour for the coming generation/ You promised always to open the doors for us/ Indeed it is you and only you who sleeps with the key/ You are chicken to change!” she sings.
