FREDDIE GWALA - KING OF THE PANTSULAS
ISTAYELA KUPHELA!!
LET'S GO BACK A LITTLE BIT...BACK TO AROUND '92. WHILES EVERONE HAD THEIR GAZES FIXED ON MANDELA, DEKLERK, CODESA AND PETITIONING FOR THE RELEASE OF ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS, NO ONE WAS WATCHING FOR THE RELEASE OF THE SMALL MAN, IN THIS CASE FREDDIE GWALA WHO HAD SERVED 8 YEARS OF A CAR THEFT BIT (A CRIME HE'S CHEEKILY DESCRIBED AS REPOSESSION). WELL, THE SMALL GUY GOT OUT. AND HE GOT OUT AND STARTED OFF A MUSIC CAREER WHICH HAS SEEN HIM PLAY ALL OVER THE WORLD, BY TELLING US ALL ABOUT THE BIG HOUSE. BIG CROOKS. SMALL BEDS. SINGING THEM PRISON SONGS!
SINCE THEN HE'S WON THE HEARTS AND IMAGINATIONS OF PEOPLE AS A GREAT STYLE ICON AND ORIGINATOR... MANY PEOPLE CALL HIM KING OF THE PANTSULAS. KING OF THE SUAVE STREET CATS.
THIS IS MY JAM
