Lucky Dube | Affirmative action
A signature song
Affirmative action is no solution to solve inequality amongst people, whether it be between cultures, races or sexes. Education is. Primarily education about life, as Lucky Dube vocalizes it so eloquently in his signature song 'Affirmative Action'

Jimmy Cliff | A true story
They gave us history, but what about the true story?
Hiding our heritage, to keep us into bondage.
They stole our culture, to say we got no future,
Destroyed our tradition, to keep us into subjection.
They took the natural living and turned it into artificial living.
They took the social living and turned it into socialism
They took the communal living and turned it into communism.
They took the capital living and turned it into capitalism.
