I played this song while driving to Randfontein recently, my mother outshined me with Kapzela dance..I love how this song evoked the spirit and reminded us of the 80's....

This was a s9ng for the 80s , apartheid, cheap food , family all.together and unity, fuel was very cheap , Life then and now in 2024...

Damn, I've been looking for this song for years. Wow!!! Bring back good and memories. I don't believe some of the people used to bang to this song are no longer with us.

I'd like to bring back, music like this on radio. If only radio 2000, will listen to me. Imagine this classic playing on a Saturday afternoon, huh...?!

True. I agree 1000% . Go for it. ❤🇿🇦❤

I found this banger while driving with my uncle on his USB. But yoh this song is unskipable. It's crazy that I'm only 14 and listening to classical music

When i was young my father will play this song

DURING THE HEIGHT OF APARTHEID PEOPLE WERE STILL ENJOYING THE GOOD VIBE.

Ke rata wena fela Chacklas........This reminds me of my childhood, we had a shebeen at home and whenever this song played people would loose their minds.

I still miss this all Golden days where every individual was you family

😭😭😭😭😭😭 I miss my mom... Listening to this song while I was 6 or 7,,those days were soooooooooo goood

Those days are memories😢

The year was 1986_ I was 9 years old. Classic track even in 2023

The footballer Abel Shongwe was given the nickname chaklas after this song.

Brings back classic memories going strong 2021 & beyond!!!

One of the best SA songs from the 80s in my opinion ❤❤

Brings back memories from mid-80s Waterford-Kamhlaba.

The beat takes me back to late 80's early 90's as a child.

Good, quality South African music......

I was looking for this song but I didn't know it's title nor the artist 😂😂😂 I wanted to search Chacklas, but I didn't believe that I was hearing the lyrics properly

Thank you LTL! This is a blast from the past! Hosh! 🇿🇦 Brings back memories of traveling on the 3rd class section of the train from Oosrand station to Park station back in the early 90’s. My late cousin, Chris and late brother, Endre would take me to Magambo’s. I think it was in Hillbrow! Also chillaxed at Blues, Countdown, Gullivers and Pink Cadillac! 🇿🇦

Finding a copy of "The Hot Soul Singers" in anything but LP is impossible nowadays. I'm still searching the archives of SA music and will definitely post up if I find anything. Sad that this great music is so hard to find.

Iyo siyabonga my favorite song. Best song ever.

It reminds me of former Kaizer Chiefs FC Swazi winger and dribbling wizard Abel "Chacklas" Shongwe.

BEST SONG EVER

That was really music before these bubble gums.

It's a killa love song....you are my love :) hoi hoi

During our time

Reminds me of the shebeen scene in the movie Mapantsula. Panic vs Jabu. Jabu: wakbonga ngabi? Panic: uye wagaya ismeke! Jabu: Sy was n' rich ngamla ne? Panic: yea. Jabu: ilemendi yerokwe epink? The song stops playing.
