Former president Jacob Zuma will be recording his favourite struggle songs in 2019 in a deal he reached with the Ethekwini municipality.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

It's always artistically pleasing to know the story behind each recorded song. A song can be recorded for a successful deal or approved plan to build a mansion in a rural place, that sort of thing.

His agenda is to divide not unify!

Name of album: Aolethe umshiniwam

This municipality, as those that invested in VBS Bank, provides for the vultures.

You can be whatever you want to do in this country 😂😂😂

Let me produce a record or two on your debut album sir PresJGZuma. Got some struggle bangers for you.

This guy is now proving that he is a complete nincompoop never mind those at the Erkhuruleni Municipality. ...smh....hooh he eh...

'Con artist' describes him best. He cons so many if they give 5c each he will easily pay his debts and still be able to travel to Indian friends

Crazy, while he can use his influence to be a mediator in African issues

Wow

Mshiniring....Lol

😹

I am definitely going to download some of those tracks once they become available.There are few politicians who can belt out a song like Msholozi.Uya'ishaya ingoma

Is thia true? If it is then ot means KZN government deprtments are functoning 100% efficiently and there is nowhere else where the money could be spent than be given to Zuma.

Are these not the municipalities who are involved in financial scandals? If so then it's self outlet for Zuma

Tax payers money continues to follow him around

This is a clear example of irregular and wasteful expenditure. cc PublicProtector

Track (1) Mchiniwam mchiniwam

Is the second cd going to be called Jailhouse Rock?

Sign of utter desperation!!!

karabomaila_ now you gonna get call to discuss issues tsa di local artists le di music compiler. Hope u ready

Good luck

What a joke.

You have got to be kidding.... any organ of any muni, or State department spending a cent on this man should be put under extreme sanction. He has no need of one more red cent from this country that has been well and truly plundered under his greedy reign.

Can we skip 2019 and go straight into 2020.. mxm! 🤔😒

Is this what we pay electricity,water and rates for? 🤔😐🙄😕😤😖😔

Gedley was running his own show at Parly for a 10 whole years.... The only song PresGJZuma was singing then.. was the Play Along Gupta tune ... Where were the struggle songs then?.. Now Ratepayers money must be wasted on Gedley croning.. What nonsense.

Is this the way he can pay for his legal fees

Happy New Year Baba PresJGZuma 😁

Really? I like this mos

Insane

Shaya Nxamalala

What nonsense is this?

Oh Finish....

He should focused on his small tribe and be the real father

Thatha Msholozi

This fellow has messed up SA. The less we say about him the better. Whose money is the mun going to use? People need services, Period!!

Paldron Save us from himself!

Others make deals with record companies this one makes a deal with a municipality.

Disgraceful

Another waste of Tax payers money

😅

another scaly effort by the KZN Zuma faction to divert public funds into the hands of the evil old man. We see you.

This madness cannot be televised😂😂😂😂😂

The men get bored when not eating our money.

So he is about to release a cd

The PublicProtector should investigate this. Taxpayers money to be spent on this has-been!

He always uses other people's money for his shit ,never pays back

Why must we always pay for his shit

Taxpayers money once again

Can the opposition parties please stop this immediately. Unless you agree with this rubbish. Our_DA EFFSouthAfrica UDmRevolution

Bathong.....tell me this is a joke.....so this is how we start 2019.....kuzoba mnandi mos VuvuMaks Phindz_ng sam_rude13

Are we still waiting state resources on Zuma who is on state pension? Young South Africans you are on your own. Crythebelovedcountry

Singing is what he can do better and he will be kept busy anyway. Good luck comrade Jacob ZUma of Nkandla

I’m not gonna say anything. I do not want to burn in hell.

He is preparing the ground for civil unrest/war when he had to go to jail. This together with bots and twitter acc, The Hlaudi party; TransformRSA; BLF; numerous KZN initiatives; Manyi initiatives etc. are plot. Looters would rather burn the country down.

😂😂😂😎😎😂🤣

Thixo waseGeorgekog, PresJGZuma is that you baba? Wena you are causing i'sphithiphithi, wait a bit we are still busy with CiftonTheSheep okwamanje.

wtf....only in S.A

Don’t believe everything you read on social media, just saying

AndileMngxitam1 God help us all! Spreading the 'love' I see...

I predict that Zuma’s struggle songs album will be the biggest seller in the country, but not so much in the cities or towns

What a Joke of a country we are.

Literally the funniest thing I've read all year. Let the corruption roll on courtesy. ethekwini

Should feature Dr.Mbuyiseni and Oskido on one of the songz....juss saying

MelzHamilton I’ll be disappointed if his stage name isn’t Mshiniwam’

Zuma never gives up

He'd better feature Busiswa in one of his tracks 💃💃💃💃

Eish! I thought municipality mandate is to provide service not recording deals. We will wait and see if it's another way of siphoning the rates money.

Funniest shit I've ever heard on the last day of 2018 😂😂😂

Sure, the guy's a sex predator & crook whose buddies stole billions, but he's good for clickbait, so let's keep giving him headlines.

Tax Payers money put to good use.

Can't wait to download umculo kababa 💃💃💃

But municipalities dont record music, we gonna milk the cow again?

Is that where our property rates are going? What does this have to do with governing a city?

We need those CD s please Msholozi

Can be backup vocalist lol

Will be buying a load full of those CD's when it comes out to stoke my braaivleis vuur

I fail to understand how a Government dept (municipality) fits in with recording deals, by a politician nogal🤔 clearly MYANC is blatantly using Govt resources to promote the party's agenda

The nkandla my home album will most definitely bang.

Since when the Ethekwini municipality became a record label 🤔

there is never a dull moment in Mzansi! 😁

Can't he rest mara

PresJGZuma please feature young and upcoming political artists like MbuyiseniNdlozi

Ethekwini Municipality has a recording company now?

MpumiLembz ubaba wakho 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

At least he won't do his own lyrics which would sound a little something like this... 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

Fund raising for his legal battles.. I hope municipalities won't use taxpayer's money to buy his CD.

Artists go to prison

Wow couldn't the City promote & support the upcoming artists instead of PresJGZuma who is earning about R3mil per annum? If he cared about his reputation he would decline the offer& advise them to spend it on the needy youth. This is bad, EnrichTheElites just like BEE

Definitely going platinum

And the book he promised us? We want the book first then usengahamba ayofuna umshini wakhe.

Top seller I can't wait to hear that

Mshini wami

Will one of those songs be 'kill the farmer, kill the boer?' or bring my machine gun to shoot whites?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Aowa guys

RhulaniK 😂 your favorite artist is dropping an album

If this is true, then it's rubbish! Municipality e na le recording deal ka mabaka a mafeng? Go na baile go dirisa budget e efeng? Aa ditsela, dikolo,ditliniki tsa ko eThekwini di siamisitswe? As a taxpayer, can we be respected please!

KhulaGP We dnt trust u times live sizozibuzela yena jacobzuma sicela impendulo baba

😂😂 Msholozi going platinum first week guaranteed

Come to think of it; I might buy his music on iTunes ; he is quite a singer I must say

Isn't this the municipality whom constantly gets bad reports from Auditor General wrt their wasteful spending?

Good to see that ubaba is still fleecing the KwaZulu government.Atleast them not the rest of us🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another scam coming from the shower head !

Ola Baba!!!!

I hope he gets a heart attack..... Or a looses his voice..

People are quick to respond without seeking to understand first, read the whole story not the heading only otherwise you will be misled. EThekwini municipality approach Zuma not the other way around.

JZ is with his people hate him or like him his constituency will back him to death , no amount of redicule or hate propaganda in the name unfounded allegations will change us we are him he is us , we don't care abt WMC media or stories let us be with Nxamza

What are they paying him?

They will probably outsource Mabala Noize to do the recording

His gonna go platinum 😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣 hamba Msholozi!

I personally don't have a problem with Mr Zuma releasing a song. However, using municipal resources to do that is morally wrong. Mr Zuma can afford to finance his initiative. What about the unprivileged young person who could not get the same assistance from the metro?

I personally can’t wait.

Honestly Iv been waiting this mans a celebrity

My dream come true Ubaba 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

EveLumicee Mabala Noise👀

Will that make up up for all the billions he enabled the Guptas to get out of the country at the expense of our poorest in this country?

Wonderful idea. Ethekwini has no people in need, so the money is well spent 😑

I will buy a lot of CD for my village people to remember our Struggle

The Hustle continues JGZ 'bout to snap on the game like Thanos 🔥🔥😡🔥🔥

What ever

It’s long overdue

The horror of a monster that wont die. Created by MYANC; now haunting MYANC. Good luck Ramaphosa with Zuma.

Ethekwini has money.. WOW !! ... glad all the services and infrastructure delivery has taken place and there are no poor ppl in KZN!!

The legal fees are making this guy work hard in retirement

LydiaMngomezulu

Zuma is a Star and will always remain out favourite ☺will buy that music on the day it reaches the public💪👊😂

Ethekwini municipality must have producers audition not to choose their favorites producer.

It will confusing once they say JZ has released an Album😅

UBaba is about to capture the music industry.

Piracy all da way

Secure the bag💰

😂🤣😂🤣 To raise funds for legal debt

Tata is about to go duadraple platinum and fill a stadium

Another pay back the money for uBaba, he must fire all his advisors and lawyers

UZuma lo angoyohla ezlalini zakhe nje ayokulusa inkukhu zakhe ezine aircon sbaya sazo, walibala yimiculo Ukhona lo odlala ngaye shamu

monnafela Ja neh

This should be a success...he's a real entertainer

Can he really do that from President to singer il believe if he cornfim on it

Mshini wam finna be the national anthem

Tell him DAT we don't want his music cuz we got enaf and nobody wants makhulu music 😁😁😀

Lmao! I wonder wat kind of music is he gonna come up with ...lol feat. Destruction Boys 😁😁😁

Banyise Msholozi, looking forward to listening to 'Umshiniwami' kkkk . Ngathi ngiyabona kuma SAMA 2019 uMsholozi ebutha wonke ama awards.

This should be with DJTira not Government. The PublicProtector must look into this.

So The real Hov finally getting into Studio to cook🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I did say,2019 is looking GOOD 🔥🔥🔥

There goes the Municipality.

I think Jacob is real, no more Gupta brains behind

KznLegislature this is corruption, there are lot of young artists that needs to be given a chance to record

Madness. Those songs are not his.

The audience thirst for a tour even.Moist with anticipation,For that moment when Thereal BiggZee hold the Mic.Mshini'wam took country by was on the tongue of every much more can he do with a Full ulbum?Is he signed under government?

Halala, raise that money, legal fees don't cheap

Mabala noise is going to sign him

Yaz kodwa eThekwiniM MYANC are not taking us serious! How is this gonna help improve lives of people within municipality? They just never get tired of finding new ways to loot public purse! Why sinyelwa kanje eThekwini vele?

All the best baba

Our_DA jsteenhuisen can we find out which municipality is funding this and if its legal?

Yah, this guy is a serious opportunist! It's in his blood, he can't help it!

does municipality finance act allows that? anyway this what he's gud at definitely not as president

Hayi bo eThekwini municipality are making recording deals now, there are so many ways to kill the cat

Amir_fyd we gotta get this tape

You must be joking......

🤣

what will his advance be and will it be a 360 contract. It most probably will be. HO$H jaa PAKAMI$A

I see a lawsuit coming from ‘those who pay rates and taxes’...

Jay Ziggy

😂😂😂

Baba has absolutely no self respect...ndimncamil

Strategy sa rats minds

The next thing ubaba will be on TheQueen_Mzansi

Ethekwini records...no more ethekwini municipality?

Dankie Mjekejeke iza nazo ✊😅

This guy is really broke. Seems like the Guptas took all the cash when they left MzwaneleManyi PresJGZuma

what?

No doubt syphoning money off of municipal taxes to help pay for his upkeep

eThekwiniM MayorDurban WTF?!!!

Talk about high rate of unemployment 😀

Eish 🤦‍♂️

At first I thought this was a joke!

Nonsense! These people will just do anything to cover Zuma's legal bills. Come hell or high water, but the money must come from government coffers, taxpayers money.

☺️🤣🤣🤣

Noooo!! 😣

BoogieHarrySA 2019 is gng to be full of surprises I swear. I see the ballot paper with this man's face in May somehow.. I don't trust him shem..

your taxes

Poor municipalities. VBS was not enough.

He attempts to play innocent, desperate and broke so as to fool people into thinking he's even selling his music to accumulate money to service his legal costs. He can fool some but not all.

Ethekwini municipality youth and professional musicians are undermined and we South Africans are not taken serious, if this being true.😏

akasalimoon 👆 😁

_Zuri_1 🤷🏿‍♀️ take my money

Go for it Msholozi...I support you.

marinavanzyl .Did the municipality follow proper SCM processes or is another irregular expenditure

Long live Msholozi

We shall buy the music

WOW!!!! I just can't wait to buy the album!

eThekwiniM we are not respected. We are a joke to you neh? Woza 2019 elections! Woza 2021 local government elections. Nilibambe lingashoni 🤬

One of the songs is called “scraping the bottom of the barrel”.

when u got legal fees to pay. oh my god 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

RamatsobaneM thina sizwe .. track no.1

Why do people still give this ou a platform

Umshini wam 🎼🎤

I can't wait for that 'noma kubi siyaya' And that 'thina Sizwe' 😁😁😭💀

But I don't see a problem here, our struggle songs need to be preserved and No1 I know of in the music industry has a voice quite like ubaba, I personally can't wait for album. I don't have land so this will be my gift to my children and their children.

Tira out there thinking of the possibility of a weird but massive flex of somehow signing an actual former president as an artist to his label...

Sounds like a monster hit

Koena_za Lol that's the only thing I honestly believe he is good at singing

Ethekwini Municipality Records.

AndileMngxitam1 Lol... The man finally gets to do what he is passionate about 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Haaayini guys! 😖😖😖😖

Zulus will make sure that the song reaches ukhozi FM top10 and become a song of the year

You can't write this shit... Seriously who would have predicted this... Lmao...

Save for a few reservations regarding his alleged sponsorship, Music seems to be Zuma’s real calling. 🌶

Zuma kwashoda impepho yokumbunyisela asemncane

The Bles Bridges of the struggle movement.

Joke this old man he just doesn't like to rest

🤣🤣🤣 some Close Satafrika!

No donations for the legal bills then PresJGZuma ?

There goes MYANC again wasting taxpayers money as they always do. Vote for them at your peril. Never to be trusted. They just said we should give them another chance because they changed, never. They are rrrotten to the core, we are voting them out.

AndileMngxitam1 Ngomhla sibuyayo Kokhala umbayimbayi Ngomhla sibuyayo Kothula kuthi du🎤🎤

Yesss!!!!!

😂Zuma is having fun.

Say again.....

Keep talking. We can’t wait and it will be a hit . Good idea 👏🏽👏🏽

uBaba is not right. He said he was gonna evaluate isphithiphithi. All he does is cause isphithiphithi. The people are so triggered yezwa😂😂😂😂

The municipality is a record label?

Lol legal fees azidlali, u do crazy things at 80🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Isn’t there’s poverty stricken family or region the former president can lobby help for in South Africa?

Is it the 1st April ?

Hamba record deal😱😅

This is not funny anymore. Is this Former President that addicted to prominence and relevance that he would scrape for anything and everything just so that we have some semblance of sympathy and recognition of his now damaged name and reputation?

africaupdates No way. He's just announced his arrival on Twitter and now PresJGZuma will be signing recording deals? This gotta be a very revolutionary move on his part. SouthAfricans where are you at? He's one of the few former African presidents with innumerable epithets!

I know Tira and Dladla will want to jump in, umsindo wakhona

There is quite a few songs he may struggle with! We know he can't do numbers but personally I would like to here him sing the ABC song.

Thina Sizwee 😭😭😭♥️🔥🔥 PresJGZuma

It's New Year and not April Fool!

Where can I pre-order this album 🔥😂

🔥🔥🔥

Is eThekwini Municipality a record label now? I need to sign my talented daughter with them. Maybe she can record a duet with uBaba... 😜

Slyza tsotsi 😂😂😂😂 even when the homie stepped down his still doing the things to make the pots do whatever lol 😂😂😂😂

eThekwiniM who signed off on this deal? Please can we see the feasibility study showing how listening to zuma will bring communities closer and stimulate economic growth? Were there no local artists who could do the job? Are you not enriching one man rather than helping others?

“Bring me my machine gun”, “Bathing in the firepool” and other great hits. Don’t touch him on his studio! You are a fu&ing joker, PresidentJZUMA 🤡

Someone better tell uBaba that it is in his interest to LIE LOW.

Yaa!!...the man needs moola.....are his accounts frozen.. he needs moola to pay back VBS loan plus the latest court order to pay back the legal fees....the next thing he will be performing in streets

Nonsense. More corruption.

What a joke. His Gupta buddies must be having a chuckle over this a-hole

When he said akayindawo,he meant it

Tnngcobo is it a way to help him make money for his legal fees? How about using assisting KZN up and coming artists. You can coat corruption in many ways but at the end it will show its ugly head

Waste of taxpayer money.. again.

They must talk to Thira first

Sithule nje siyabuka

The AG Needd to intervene does a municipality feature in songs?

Un-fuckin-beliavable, are we being punked😠😠. Someone needs to tell Zuma that when you're dead the polite thing to do is to get a shovel.

I didn’t see this one coming 😂😂😂😂😂

Stop talking about this guy! Is none of our business! What we need is our tax money back.

Anything to PAY his various Legal Bills stacked up and stacking up....?

This year refuses to end on a good note. 😥
