[@siyabulelamlungwana8181]

Mr O Dube ,Never give up .do not change and start speaking tshona.use KZbin to promote yourself. One day someone will see u.Nguni languages are loved over seas.our artists here in SA are facing the same,put your music on that download thing where people buy online .DO NOT CHANGE ,DO NOT SPEAK TSHONA OR SING IN TSHONA,that is going to be your down fall.your ndebele is good.

[@lancelotthemba8252]

The main problem is that Ndebele music is competing with south african artist

[@msizimlalazi1308]

Obert l like indlela okhuluma ngayo you're really saying the truth abantu we don't we don't support local artist

[@lancencube5205]

But i think things are changing.we used to cherish into zegoli too much ,but now slowly slowly we are starting to appreciate our own

[@tawandamakaure3509]

I always look forward to CITE's periodic dosages especially on the Gukurahundi episodes. I am lucky that i can understand isiNdebele, but kindly put english subtitles for the benefit of others. Your message should not be limited.

[@ntandoyenkosijewelmpofu8808]

siyabonga ingxoxo enhle enje mina ncabanga ukuthi okunye abantu since etshilo u Obert ukuthi ingoma ingadlalwa kakhulu iyakungena ekhanda ucine uyihlabela loba ungayithandi so abantu bakithi kabalalele ama radio skys metro le khulumani yikho ukthi bazi nge talent esilayo e Mthwakazi ngoba ukuthi uze uhambe kuma shows kumele ube usuzwile ngomuntu wakhona lalokho akwenzayo usukuzwile so i think lalokho kungasinceda kakhulu ekwazini ama artists ethu size siwathande.

If you are African then use a language that will get you a wider audience

[@edbee7674]

Subtitles should do. He's African so there's nothing wrong with him using his mother language. No wonder Africans lose their identity by copying other pple's cultures. OG is the best

[@jairosmakonese]

@@edbee7674 You did not get my point. What I am simply saying is english is widely used so it's better to use it for the benefit of a wider audience. It has nothing to do with culture. When Dambudzo Marechera was labeled an African writer check what he said.
