Zambian Musician Slap Dee answers back at Road Safety song critics

Posted On 21 Aug 2013

Zambian musician Slap Dee has hit back at criticism that his new single ‘RATSA’ is a direct attack on the Zambian Road Transport Agency which has almost the same abbreviation like his new single. The Zambian Road Safety and Transport agency is abbreviated RTSA. Slap Dee added an extra “a” abbreviation in his single and says his song is not really a direct criticism of the Zambian Road Safety agency.

Explaining the song’s message in a a brief Chat with Iroko Africa, the rapper – real name Mwila Musonda – said the dance song which will be included on his forth coming album titled ‘The Business’ is about a frustrated man who seeks to change his attitude towards society after his partner had taken him for granted.

The angry man threatens to become as merciless as a RTSA officer. His explanation might possibly not convince some people because of the bad reputation of RTSA officers

International anti corruption watchdog Transparency International last year rated the Zambian police Service and Road Transport and Safety agency the leading most corrupt public institutions.

Other public institutions that were equally corrupt were the Ministry of Health, the National Registration Office, Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the Zambia Revenue Authority, ZESCO, the judiciary (courts), passport office and local authorities.
