Music veteran Zakes Bantwini believes that local musicians have lost their drive to push their work forward both in SA and abroad because they are blinded by the trappings of fame.
“We are too content fighting each other and not exporting our creativity to other markets. I have tried to open opportunities for our artists and some have taken advantage of that but too many have not. We have the opportunity to launch a global star that is based in Africa but we need to work hard and not get distracted,” Zakes
