HIP-HOP music sensation Jub Jub will sing his way into the history books.
Jub Jub has been chosen to perform the official 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup anthem.
Jub Jub, whose real name is Molemo Maarohanye, was approached by the 2010 local organising committee to compose and sing a song that would “mobilise the country to rally behind the preparations for the World Cup”.
The 2010 song, called “Ke Nako” — a Sesotho phrase meaning “It is Time” — was introduced to the media on Monday night in conjunction with the unveiling of the 2010 mascot, Zakumi.
“The song is an inspiration to all South Africans. I sing about our beautiful, diverse country, different lifestyles and cultures.
“The song is for young and old — and it is going to rock,” said the rapper.
He told The Times that the song represents the “melting-pot of diversity we have in the country”, particularly because it is multi-lingual, featuring lyrics in Sotho, Zulu, English and Afrikaans.
Jub Jub said he wanted to inspire the nation to be confident about the event being a success.
A countrywide tour to promote the 2010 song and get the nation feeling festive in the run-up to the event is on the cards.
