Following recent reports of violence against
Nigerians and other nationals in South Africa, Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat
legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has accused the late president of the country,
Nelson Mandela for the xenophobic attacks.
Seun,
the charismatic leader of Fela’s legendary Afrobeat orchestra, Egypt 80
questioned the attacks in a Facebook post.
He
asks; “Hey Black South Africans aren’t you ashamed of yourselves? Has your
spirit of revolution completely destroyed by your rudderless ANC to the extent
that you have become cowards who bully fellow Africans? Fellow Brothers?”
The
post further reads: “Ok answer me this. If every Nigerian is deported out of
South Africa there will be no more crime in South Africa? There will be no more
injustice and inequality? Mandela once again thanks for your rainbow nation.
Thanks for teaching your people to love whites but forgot to tell them to
embrace blacks.”
Though
his father passed on almost two decades ago, his spirit still lives on in Seun
Kuti as he has proven himself to be an outspoken political activist.
