Zakwe Announces Grand Prize For “Thixo Wami” Challenge

Zakwe Announces Grand Prize For “Thixo Wami” Challenge. Zakwe recently released a rap gospel song as he collaborated with Big Zulu, Zola 7, and Riot. The song garnered positive feedback from some listeners.

In a bid to have more fans engage with the song, Zakwe introduced a Thixo Wami challenge with the participants getting a chance to win R1000 every Friday. The Durban veteran rapper stated in a video he posted on Twitter that since Mzansi is a dancing and praying nation, they have blended the two components to launch the Thixo Wami challenge.

“First and foremost, thank you so much for supporting Ingoma yami entsha iThixo Wami featuring Big Zulu, Zola 7 and Bongo Riot. Thank you so much, keep on downloading and playing that joint,” he said. “Right now we all know that Mzansi is a praying nation, a dancing nation. So we’ve combined the two ukhuti ukuqale Thixo Wami Challenge. So make sure you join the challenge now, you might win R1000 each and every Friday starting this Friday. So join us and let’s have some fun.”

Even though Thixo Wami has received a good reception, some have also been heavily criticized. During an interview with Zingah, Rashid Kay said that he was not impressed with the song. The SA Hip-hop expert said that Big Zulu and Zola 7’s verses spoiled the song.

“I think the features there are bad, they performed bad. Big Zulu and Zola 7, I don’t like their verses. I only like Zakwe’s verse and Bongo Riot on the hook,” said Rashid.

“They didn’t need these n*ggas (Big Zulu and Zola 7 ) verses but they needed their names. So sometimes artists feature for the name they won’t care about the bars and the delivery. Zola 7 sounded like he was freestyling.” He added.
