It has been concurred, after 31 dayz of thrilling football tournament, by the Pres. of FIFA Sepp Blatter and his associates, by Pres. Zuma and his cabinent and by the organising committee who marvelled @ da beauty of their dreams dat Mzansi is alive with possibilities. With hosting such a magnitude of an event, silenced ur critics, it changed da mind set of fellow Africans, it gave hope 2 people like us but of course we knw from the moment Madiba walked out from that cave, Robben Island, dat our history is abt 2 b written. The xtement and the atmosphere of the tournament reminded us where we cuming frm as a nation, beside the early exit of our national squad, it ignited the fire in us. Like the Japanese said after the attack on Pearl Harbour, “we have just awakened the sleeping giant”. That’s it homeboy, we r da giants nd its abt time the world realize how mighty, strong, intelligent, fierce and educated we are. It is still sixteen yrs of ur rainbow nation nd we r making it rain, well, not really rain but we do make the rain clouds gather. We’ve seen real transformaxion in its might, abo-guluva ba se kasi becoming designer’s nd business men, the story of Loxion Kulca (Wandi and Sechaba collabo). The story has life nd possibilities written al over it
Mzansi, has thousand of these encouraging tales nd they r al translated in our works, in our values like Ubuntu, in our music, in our magazines, in our smiles nd enthusiasm. The stories of the ordinary Vuvuzela, becoming a sensational accessory out of the Fifa World Cup. These r our stories we own them, we tell them in Hip Hop, we translate them in rhymes, we r the generation dat is making the circle bigger. We r da Ama kip-kip generation nd we are pimpin’ up yr shoes. Proverb prophesised on the action like these in his 2006 album, wen he raped “together we stand/ divided we fall/da better we can/ provided we ball/ we played the background long enuf / we neva back down rap’s now strong enuf /…nd we r free @ last.” He had a dream, which we r almost living now. The pimping of tattered All-Star tekkie 2 an ice-cream-fashionable shoe is the examples of possibilities of wat we have as a nation(Pimp my shoes enterprise by Katsuko). The truth is me, u nd the rest of Hip Hop nation r the future after we were given 9/10 ratio for a successful World Cup. Danny Jordan nd them niggas gave us the dream just like Madiba did, but we made it possible. Together with headz, producers, emcees, beat-makers, graffiti artist, b-boyz, break-dancers, poets, bo-mrapper, honeys, hustlers and gang-stars, theplatform2 is holding the flag quite high 4 the possibilities of hustling 2 b possible. We r the platform 2 this thrilling era of Pisces, our vision r aligned with yours, we want 2 make the world stand nd listen without the Vuvuzela. We want the world 2 listen without bombs and Xenophobia 2 ur colourfull stories, nd we have planted in us to do that!
