@boogs2007 I belive the government who censored the songs, not the recorder.

@Jaybee0782 It most certainly was not! This song was written during the state of emergency in south africa when my old government was still up to no good (a la the US in Iraq and Afganistan today) in the townships. It was written as a comment on the ills of imperialism and they then threw in a bit of Zulu and I suppose that made it an attack on apartheid. It was not written as a tribute to the new South aFrica, but perhaps the hope in 1986 that South Africa could achieve what it did in 94.
