The voices in Makhafula Vilakazi’s head
In 2019, Makhafula Vilakazi receives an interview request from DJ Sbu, a fan of his work. DJ Sbu has, however, never watched a single performance, only listened. Makhafula arrives at the Massiv Metro studios with his team.
DJ Sbu beams an “I’ll be with you just now”. He plays a song, goes up to Makhafula and extends a gleeful, “Awu! Mr Ramashia, what brings you to my quarters?”
“Ngize kuinterview mfwethu, i interview nawe”.
It is at this very moment that DJ Sbu realises that his lawyer, whom he’s sat across countless times, is indeed his favourite poet in the flesh.
