  • Way better than that waka waka shit.

  • @highrhino I am South African and was born and raised in Johannesburg. Johannesburg is also known as "Joeys" or "Joburg" or "Egoli" (Zulu name for "gold" which is where gold was discovered) and this song Joanna refers to Johannesburg which is the largest city in South Africa and was during the apartheid era the centre of the anti-apartheid movement. This song was banned in SA when it was released. Inside SA, we never knew about the song until years later.
