'He is a genius' - Rapper Duncan dominates timelines after his new single 'Sikelela' drops
Gender-based violence, unemployment, drug abuse and rape are among the many social ills rapper Duncan sings about in his newly released single, which many have called a tribute and prayer for victims of abuse and suffering.
His fans took to Twitter on Sunday to express their appreciation of the song, while praising Duncan for addressing these ills. The song, which features Thee Legacy, is titled 'Sikelela' and its chorus uses a section of South Africa's national anthem.
"I know of people who have gone to school but are suffering because they can't get a job, I know of people who kill those who live with albinism because of their so-called special powers, I know of a child who is being abused because they are an orphan."
