Blakk Rasta's attack on xenophobia in South Africa with a new song

Blakk Rasta, a legendary Gabonese artist from Dub Poet and Reggae, made his first visit to South Africa to learn about what was happening in the country after a xenophobic mbadacre widely publicized by his southern counterparts. African.

The radio show host wrote and shot a video for his poem, A LETTER TO SHABALALA in Johannesburg in 2017, which featured a popular South African cultural actor / dancer, Xolani Ntombela. Barely two years after these unfortunate attacks, new xenophobic killings have hit South Africa again, claiming several lives.

This time, Blakk Rasta's LETTER TO SHABALALA poem has received considerable support and has become viral throughout Africa as Africans against these cold-blooded murders. Several African government leaders have spoken out against this, including South African President and opposition leader Julius Malema.

Nevertheless, a few weeks after the end of the attacks, the chickens seem to come home to rest. Ntobela, who appeared in Blakk Rasta's anti-xeno video, talks about losing his job at the Lesidi Cultural Center in KwaZulu Natal Province, South Africa. The South African authorities accuse the Zulu natives of helping a malignant alien, the Zulus and South Africa.

In an interview with Blakk Rasta, he was shocked that a professional might be victimized for playing a role in a creative work. "How can an actor be punished for playing a thief in a movie?" Does this role of film make him a real thief? A role of film does not necessarily translate into a real situation. A man drunk in a movie does not have to be drunk in real life, I'm too disappointed. "

Lesedi Cultural Village, where the video was shot asks the artist to issue a warning because tourists are starting to avoid going to the scene after viewing the video in their different countries. "It's very serious, we do not want to lose tourists, we're not xenophobic, we do not support it, we love everyone, but this video undermines our image and apparently aligns us with We are losing tourists without fail. "Llyod, director of the South African Art Village, complained.

Blakk Rasta, shocked, said his next step would be to seek justice for Ntombela and all the individuals slaughtered in the heinous xenophobic murders in South Africa. He plans to speak with Amnesty International, the UN, the AU and the world's pbadionate leaders against xenophobia. "I am happy that my message has reached the four corners of the world, but I am sad that an innocent victim is being victimized, and Xolani Ntombela should be rewarded for performing so well in a poetic video like this", concluded Blakk Rasta. .
