Sounds like 1986 or so.

But POC must have started doing music around that time from what I heard...

Of course Senyaka was rapping before anyone. it is a widely known thing. The guy rapping on Yvonne's songg as well. But he was never a solo artist as i know. but the firts proper group must have been POC. It's funny coz Senyaka was a hood cat. I discovered later that hood cats were into hop before model c cats / amadzantsantsa as they were known. You know the Spex's the Amus, etc who had private school education. Interestin topic. Senyaka had a song called Fuquza. BOP Tv used to play it. Anyone remember that?

Who were Model C, where they the first group in the JHB area during that time? Could that
be the early stage of JHB Hip-Hop at the time (80s)?

hahahah!

No. Model C are the of schools, multi-racial schools which were mostly refered to as white schools because they were predominately white and run by white people though they accepted black students. They were still not affordable to the average township resident. so model c cats are those who went to those kinds of schools.

check the first and only comment on the article. lol some pep[le.

Actually the song is fong kong.
Counterfeits are not part of the official imports coming from
BRIC countries.Official imports are actually quality goods coming from china from electronic goods to food.
Claiming all goods coming from china is fake (fong kong) would
be fong kong.
Actually south africans are becoming a nation of shady fong kongers within eg fake cops,fake sangomas,fake wealth,fake education,fake american accents,fake celebrities,fake rainbow nation,..etc
fake hair,fake communists,fake non racists,fake chrisitians,,etc
