Listen Andy Davies….are you from South Africa? Doesn’t sound like it. Do yourself a favour and come to South Africa and feel the South African beat and catch the vibes, come party with us. The World Cup is THE best thing that could have happened to us. It is breaking all barrier and bringing people together. If you are South African then shame on you….catch a wake-up and feel the excitement brewing in ALL South Africans and the worl (execpt you)

Freshlyground is one of THE best group in South Africa

And by the way, if I don’t have it miss, the waka waka song was also used in the animated movie Lilo & Stich…….

Where did Doctor L and Zama go? Does a lack of response mean eventual agreement?

Number one.. It’s COLOMBIA you ignorant… AT LEAST GET A MAP!
And so what if she’s not african… since when do the singers have to be from the continent or even the country to be chosen for the world cup. EMPHASIS ON WORLD! ITS AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT FOR GOD’S SAKE.Just because this year it’s taking place in africa doesn’t make it theirs. It’s all about the music and who makes the best song not where you come from. Isn’t that the whole point of the world cup; bringing different nations together? Four years ago Shakira did an amazing job in Germany representing all the nations and 1. if you hadn’t noticed SHE’S NOT GERMAN (in fact she’s closer to being african than german) 2. The song from Germany’s World Cup even had african type tones in it and no one complained. Besides why is she less deserving. Just like african artist there are tons of latino artist and indian artist and asian artist trying to make it in the business. THATS LIFE. Deal with it!.. yes off course FIFA is thinking about the money, its the biggest event of the year. I’m not saying that the high cost of the liquor licenses and all that ins’t a bit shady but the fact that your taking it out on a woman who’s worked hard enough on her career to earn this is just ridiculous and petty. And yes we’d heard that song before in COLOMBIA but so what. many artist copy from each other for inspiration or simply to give us different (maybe even better) versions of songs. It happens everyday. They are called covers.. LOOK IT UP!

All in all.. i’m looking forward to this world cup and have been counting down the days for months.. we shouldn’t be letting things like this ruin the spirit of the event!

PS// I LIVE IN COLOMBIA and the hit in COLOMBIA (one more time so you get it right the next time your thinking of mentioning us) was the original zangalewa not the other version… unlike others we do appreciate and accept different cultures.

AT you couldn’t have said it better. The spirit of entitlement among black south africans is baffling. Take it from me, they can’t even stomach the thought of other africans (from outside south africa) who are more educated and more hard working. This song is fab and has a global appeal. They couldn’t have chosen a better person to sing it- great voice and great anthropologist. This is not a South African event, it’s not a zulu wedding– it’s the FIFA World Cup! With this kind of attitude from South Africans I fear the world cup will turn out to be a PR disaster for Africa.

And for the record Shakira does not live in Barbados. I live in Trinidad, which is a stone throw away from Barbados, so I know. Not even Rihanna, the Bajan superstar lives there.
