With the ANC trying to handle the Public Protector’s Nkandla report, the big Z himself decided to hit back with a song, but took some inspiration from another Mr. Z – Jay Z to be exact.
OK, it’s written as a parody by deputy digital news editor at the Mail & Guardian Haji Mohamed Dawjee, but it’s a pretty funny account, using the second verse of Jay Z’s “99 Problems”, with a little bit of a Nkandla spin.
Check out the lyrics:
“If you havin’ public protector problems
I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but Nkandla ain’t one
Hit meThe year is 2014 and Nkandla is still raw
Thuli’s on my case, mentioning the law
I got two choices y’all, I can just ignore
Or make the police minister responsible
And then ignore some moreNow I ain’t trying to see myself burned at the stake
Plus I got a few rand-ellas I can fight the case
So I … pull out a statement that’s premature
The media says my ‘intentions aren’t pure’Coz I’m a tainted president
And my credibility’s real low
Do I look like I care? The answer is noThuli says I benefitted from the upgrade
But I ain’t saying nothing, coz I got it made
‘Take steps with the assistance of the national treasury’
What’s the point, that doesn’t benefit me?The police minister will ‘expedite the review’
Until then I’ll act like I don’t have a clue
If you havin’ public protector problems
I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but Nkandla ain’t one
Hit me”
