Panga' lyrics cause white fright
Panga' lyrics cause white fright The Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) has ruled that the song Get Out by hip-hop artist Zubz was an incitement to violence.
The ruling followed a complaint in February by the Freedom Front Plus (FF+) against the SABC after the video of the song was flighted on SABC1. The song's lyrics go something like: "Tell the oppressor get out/and tell my people fight I'm gonna get this panga to your neck. Take what is mine today and I'll rob you tomorrow, grab the gun power to the people, It's time we take it back". The BCCSA held that "the overwhelming effect of the song is not purely aesthetic. Its dominant effect is that of militancy and violent threats, the general effect is one of an urgent call to action." In its submission, the SABC had defended the song, arguing: "The artist is trying to raise the concerns about people oppressing others and how this will not be tolerated." No action will be taken against the SABC. On Friday, Zubz, whose real name is Ndabaningi Mabuye, defended his song saying it had been "misunderstood".
