Akon meets JZ
The worlds of politics and music collided on Thursday as R&B Star Akon met up with the new president of South Africa, Jacob Zuma. The star, who is here to launch his clothing label Konvict and to shoot a music video, requested a meeting with the president in order to congratulate him. Jason Von Berg headed on down to Zuma’s Forest Town home on Thursday. Watch the video

Sorry if someone feel unhappy about our president welcoming anyone,even Elvis Presciley would be the same.Msholozi loves everybody.

Can someone please ask for the intelligence of Jacob Zuma and his advices that immediately after his inauguration his first meeting is with an artist (little known for that matter)? Couldn’t he find his counterparts such as Gordon Brown, Barack Obama, etc to consolidate executive relations? What was the logic? What is it (of significance) that this little unknown artist will bring to this country? What was it that they were actually thinking within the executive? Perhaps he should have met the taxi drivers he promised to solve their problem. Does he have any real advisors or is the youth league advising him? I am embarrassed. If he needs an advisor I am willing to do it for free

@ The Kyd… how rad would that be? JZ and Akon collab, Umshini… beautiful. Add in 2010 and you have a hit song!

Our President is loved even by music stars. Thank you Akon for appreciating our beloved President. We love him because he loves everyone, enemy or not.

GOD DAM,
I wanted to see him and Lady GAGA @ Club Ink last night. I was so amped.
I sent the (news breakers) 5FM an e-mail to ask whether the information was correct and I did not even get a response from them. I was upset because to see Lady GAGA and Akon in the same club for one night only is like a dream for anyone.
Thanks 5FM for not responding to my e-mail, you got me!

Zuma is elevating samplers, this is disgusting. Who is Akon in the bigger scheme of things. Do you think Mandoza will ever get an appointment with Obama, NEVER, Obama would not lower himself like that. Cases and scandals aside, Zuma (the president of SA) has lowered himself, he must stop trying to emulate Mandela, the old man was and is still in the league of his own. Zuma is not going to be Mandela. Why should these US suckers meet the SA president, this shows that we are a banana republic. These music chancers must not come here and use your presidenCY to market their **** music. One thing I liked about Thabo in spite of all his weaknesses is that he was himself, he never tried to be like Mandela and didn’t submit to the stupid demands of US suckers, chancers and celebrities.

Akon a music star, GIVE ME A BREAK, rap artists are drug dealers.
dontneedtoknow
you think obama will meet any of south african star on their visit to US. Then why we treat them like royalty? JZ have lot to do about the country unless he is planning to push the country further then 3rd world countries.

shower head is so oblivious to anything that has to do with standards….. zepiro leave his accessory on this man should’nt be respected as president even if you give him the benefit of the doubt he’ll still remain clueless.
Rashid
Maybe Akon is planning something and wants to borrow Zuma’s tapes…

In the sad refrain of the sunshine.
The soft and
gentle melody
of a sunshine appears
in the calm of
a delicate reason,
that mellow aperture
recalling, when
the down-pour
arrives, a tracing
present.

I like the fact that he kept it very original or in a local style. This should send a message to all those who think that Western approach to things is supreme, that it is possible to remain original yet occupy the highest office in the land. Black people must remain black and white people must remain white!!!
