Slik and Shugasmakx stop by at the Nike store in Melville, Jozi to pick some free gear and then head off to Cap City at the Tuks Rag event where they perform a signature rather kwaito-ish song. No serious cuz, no shots, it goes something like ‘dlala ngento yakho’, which loosely translates to ‘play with your thang’ in English. No pun intended.

Video: Keith Murray Speaks on Laptop Robbery During His SA Visit
He also clearifies a couple of misconceptions our brothers and sisters in America have about the continent beginning with the simple fact that Africa is not a country but a continent. Only beef we had was the imagery juxtaposed with the interview, for instance a picture of some village with the rainbow in the sky while describing South Africa. For God’s sake this dude stayed in Johannesburg (which is arguably Africa’s answer to New York) while he was here. Couldn’t they have googled some photos of the Johannesburg metropolitan, that would’ve have been more relevant to the interview seeing as that’s where he got his ass robbed anyway and not in some peaceful village with mud huts.
