“My song was inspired by Zwide. He was Shaka’s rival, and I knew most artists would choose to compose about Shaka because of his calibre, so I opted for his rival.”
The song is a mix of genres including hip-hop, Afro-beat and Afro-soul.
“Zwide is a powerful song. It reminds us who we are, and where we come from,” said Vusi.
