Amapiano sensation Nkosazana Doter performed as part of a star-studded line-up at the African National Congress (ANC) Youth League's Peter Mokaba Volunteer rally in Johannesburg over the weekend.
Video of the rally has garnered thousands of comments and reactions since it was posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Nkozana's daughter and Fikile Mbalula's dance goes viral
ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula and ANC Youth Federation President Koren Malatsi were in attendance. Addressing hundreds of party supporters in Alexandra township, the youth president called on supporters and those in positions of power to be proactive.
Otherwise, he believes, he will have to “fire” some of the incompetent members. “Mbalula and I will not play. We will act. We will fire people,” Maratozi said.
But Nkosazana Daughter's performance was one of the highlights of the day's rally. Nkosazana Daughter performed some of her biggest hits as Fikile Mbalula and Malatsi danced together.
The ANC Secretary-General danced with Nkosazana Daughter for a while and then showed off some “youthful dance moves” as he left the stage. Without a doubt, it was a picture-perfect moment captured on camera.
However, the video went viral and divided opinions on social media. While some criticized Fikile Mbalula for dancing with Nkosazana Daughter, others saw nothing wrong with the pair sharing some fun moments on stage.
However, contrary to this trend, the ANC Secretary-General gave the nod to Nkosanaza Daughter in the X post. He posted, “ND's daughter, my best friend, Intombi Ekula Kamnandi.”
Performance at a gathering
Nkosazana Daughter has won big since coming into the spotlight. There is no doubt that she has been booked recently as she has been busy. Like those before her, she also performed at rallies.
She joins a number of singers performing at this year's gathering including DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, BabesWodumo, Big Zulu and DJ Tira. Political parties routinely have singers perform at their rallies in order to gain high support ratings.
South Africa is not immune to global trends, and political parties are joining them. However, some of her fans criticized the ANC for booking her. Over the years, Nkosazana Daughter continues to be a darling of the EFF. She headlined several of the party's rallies.
After all, she is not the first celebrity who has performed at various parties since that business. Last year, Big Zulu performed with her ANC and her EFF on the same weekend.
