I've watched this and I thought its great. The video definitely beats most videos I've seen being featured week in week out on our welfare channels. Including the Dikakapa one and the Miza Super hero and definitely the Durban ones.

Quickly about the Durbs videos: Am I the only one that thinks they are always the same - naked girls, the beach or limousine, some champagne. Always!

So the team that did this 16 Bars thing is quite talented, I must say. They can make this a whole movie and i'd support them. It's just that they need a proper publicity/marketing/communication person and I hereby apply for that job. (lol)
...Coz the way they are going about all this is a bit clumsy at the moment. They call it controversial and as a listener mna I was left wondering what makes it controversial only until I was told the story behind the story.. and I had an ooohooo.. moment. Not good.

I also love the Slikour/Kabelo Dubula series of music videos/short movies, I think it's creative and different... On the Durban music vids, it's like you have to have DJ Tira in the video for your video to be considered proudly Durban lol

uTira produces them all and it's him that wants to be in all of them..... same way he goes to the stage everytime they win awards.heheh.

There's just some community thing going on there and it looks like he's the chief. He's more like Mangosuthu Buthelezi in their music business. He can groom a lot of them but yena uhlala esikhundleni there's nothing that moves him . And you better highlight him or else...
