Sekele (Language Tswana)


Why I like the song sekele (circle) by pro kid from South Africa. The song has a very up tempo beat that makes you do the sekele dance where your lean forward with sway and swing from left to right . Pro kid is extremely rude but in a truthful way like in the line 18 and 19 where he says “  Ng'yabona bayang'-robber mang' check' iscore line, Bang' sabotager batheng' ureferee but it's alright,”  which means the ways township boys rob the bank but its all right . Like when you foul in a match but the referee says that it is okay. In South Africa the crime rate is high and 50% of the time criminals get away with it , even if they get caught there will always be someone  working on the inside eventually you will get away with it just like if you foul someone and the don’t get a penalty . ‘Vulan' isekele ’ the first line of the Corus means open the circle (when dancing). Abeze la sibenzele, daai ding net so, the whole daaaay” , you know we will be parting the whole day. It’s a song that starts playing and every one stands up and starts doing the sekele . A very rude but truthful song that he raps to what ever he wants to say and gets away with it.
