I played this song while driving to Randfontein recently, my mother outshined me with Kapzela dance..I love how this song evoked the spirit and reminded us of the 80's....
Damn, I've been looking for this song for years. Wow!!! Bring back good and memories. I don't believe some of the people used to bang to this song are no longer with us.
I'd like to bring back music like this on radio. If only Radio 2000(SA) will listen to me. Imagine this classic playing on a Saturday afternoon, huh...?!
Ke rata wena fela Chacklas........This reminds me of my childhood, we had a shebeen at home and whenever this song played people would loose their minds.
Our aunt passed on on 2 May 2021. We have videos of her dancing at my mom's birthday to this song. 😂🙏🏽🕊️ Lol our music lover. Rest in peace Aunt Lorraine!

Please post the videos. Would be magical to see. Please!! ❤️😍🙏💪🦄👍💕
I found this banger while driving with my uncle on his USB. But yoh this song is unskipable. It's crazy that I'm only 14 and listening to classical music
I was looking for this song but I didn't know it's title nor the artist 😂😂😂 I wanted to search Chacklas, but I didn't believe that I was hearing the lyrics properly
Baba Mcanyana F Section Kwa Mashu Township,Durban,still rocking as he was back then,I have the album and hanging on to it dearly,the good music of the 80's👏👏👏👏
Yoh lona 🥺🖤 this reminds me of my late mom 😭 she used to love jamming to this in the kitchen while cooking I came to YT only searching by the chorus didn’t think I’ll find it 😭🖤😭😍😭♥️
Thank you LTL! This is a blast from the past! Hosh! 🇿🇦 Brings back memories of traveling on the 3rd class section of the train from Oosrand station to Park station back in the early 90’s. My late cousin, Chris and late brother, Endre would take me to Magambo’s. I think it was in Hillbrow! Also chillaxed at Blues, Countdown, Gullivers and Pink Cadillac! 🇿🇦
Finding a copy of "The Hot Soul Singers" in anything but LP is impossible nowadays. I'm still searching the archives of SA music and will definitely post up if I find anything. Sad that this great music is so hard to find.
Reminds me of the shebeen scene in the movie Mapantsula. Panic vs Jabu. Jabu: wakbonga ngabi? Panic: uye wagaya ismeke! Jabu: Sy was n' rich ngamla ne? Panic: yea. Jabu: ilemendi yerokwe epink? The song stops playing.

It reminds me of former Kaizer Chiefs FC Swazi winger and dribbling wizard Abel "Chacklas" Shongwe.
Reminds me of the shebeen scene in the movie Mapantsula. Panic vs Jabu.
Jabu: wakbonga ngabi?
Panic: uye wagaya ismeke!
Jabu: Sy was n' rich ngamla ne?
Panic: yea.
Jabu: ilemendi yerokwe epink?
The song stops playing.
