MEDIA personality Somizi Mhlongo has criticized Big Zulu’s top charting hit song, Mali Eningi, that has driven Mzansi crazy.
The song has made Mzansi celebs shoot videos of the popular Duduzane Zuma walk challenge that was created after the song was released three weeks ago.
Speaking during the KZN Entertainment Awards held at ICC Arena in Durban, Somizi said the song does not relate with him because he doesn’t want to have large amounts of money as the song says.
Somizi said he already has large amounts of money and he can’t even do the popular Duduzane walk that is normally done when the song is playing.

He asked Mzansi artists to write songs that accommodate everyone, and the songs that also include wealthy people like him.
Somizi, who is original from KwaMashu township in the north of Durban, was an MC with Pearl Thusi during the awards.
Somizi said he likes to do the Duduzanewalk challenge, but his problem is that the song does not relate with him at all.
“The song is dividing us who have money and those who don’t have money and want to have it.
“The song does not relate with me at all and I feel left behind because I also like to be part of Duduzane Zuma’s famous walk challenge.
“I challenge Mzansi artists to write the song that accommodate all of us and not separate us with our financial status. I challenge Big Zulu, Sjava and others to write the song that will accommodate us all,” he said.
Big Zulu’s song, featuring Intaba Yase Dubai and Riky Rick, racked up more than 3 million views in three weeks on YouTube and it has become number one on iTunes downloads for three weeks.
The song became popular and went viral when the son of former president Jacob Zuma was seen walking with his crew while playing the song.
Mzansi women were impressed by Duduzane's walk and many people started to do it as an online challenge while also playing Big Zulu’s song.
