There are few things more South African than braais and hungry-looking township dogs. So when Afropop band Freshlyground released the video to their single Don't Leave Me, featuring both the above, it was an instant hit.The Cape Town group that brought fans Doo Be Doo is getting feet tapping again after nearly three years.The video of their latest song captures, in documentary style, ordinary people doing everyday things.Children ride bicycles, boys wash cars, women attend a church service and street dancers entertain in the video.It takes several viewings to grasp the link between the video and the lyrics of the song.Though Don't Leave Me is open to interpretation and can refer to a woman pleading with her lover not to go, the video depicts everything from horses to sheep to street dancing.The band's violinist and backing singer, Kyla-Rose Smith, said that everyone interviewed for the video listened to the song and was then asked what it meant."'Don't leave me' can mean many things.
