- Tuks, born Tumelo Kapadisa has been writing in his indigenous language since 1993/94, back when rap was still considered taboo in most townships around South Africa. Tuks began as a "conscious" writer touching base with everyday issues and drawing from his environment which back then was strong in cultural influence and pride that was prevalent in Bophuthatswana, a year later the homeland was re-established as the north west and became part of the nine provinces in South Africa.
Prior to his solo career he was in two other groups that he co-founded with friends from school, but as he puts it, "i felt choked and honestly i was more in love with my music while the other members hallucinated about the fame and fortune, i had to be out, besides i had always been a loner!".
Tuks isnt big on running his mouth on some..."i started vanac", in fact his sole purpose is to do music and interpret life as he sees it, an honest lyricist whom in abstract will recite you his life story in each of his songs. Tuks is described the man with mad attitude, issues and he holds back no punches, the very same thing that got him in hot waters when a line from sneng-neng about another famous rapper caught the public ear. Raw from the streets, two years later after having his first break on Zola's album on a track entitled Moroba he still spits like he got a point to prove. Tuks was also featured in hit albums Bravo's Skhokho and Morafe's Maru a pula.
Tuks shared the stage with already established artists in this country like Zola, Pith Black Afro, Bravo, k.b, Thebe, hhp and Amu. He draws his inspiration from acts like Common, KRS, Mos Def and most underground (rather undiscoverd) hip hop. He writes like none other in S.A. He is considered one of South Africa's best lyricist with both vanac and english appeal.
Tuks debut album consists of 20 tracks and is a journey through the ups and downs he has come across in his life. He has worked with wonder producer Thaso on the album. The production of Mafoko a me comes off sounding heart felt and true to its own art form, out of the box and an alternative to your regular and monotonous sounding hip hop that we have been hearing throughout the years.

ONE problem with Tuks......He was way beyond his time. This is still good music
True bruh.....he was making music for the future...still relevant AF....
💯💯💯😍😍
This is so true
True that neh! I bet he can still reach Triple Platinum if he re-release it on all the current music platforms
Sooo True
Rest In Peace to my late brother, Zuko Toto Pangwa He used to play this song and it used to play on Gospel Gold on Sunday Morning while I was busy bathing naked jamming preparing to go to Sunday School at church. Time flies. Rest In Peace Bhungane🕊
RIP Mthimkhulu
I used to listen to this CD as a student at UJ, 11 years later he performed it for me on my birthday at Lefaragatlhe

May His Graceful Soul Rest In Peace
Old man had a good ear.
This song remind me of my childhood when life was still easy.. Let's work hard guys. This song is a motivation
People at that time didn’t understand how massive Tuks was🥺🏆❤️
This song makes me feel like everything is gonna be okay.
Angizwa nokuth ithin lenkunzi kodwa lengoma ngiyithanda ukufa...17yrs and I'm still in love with this song,this guy was gifted 🤞2023
He is still gifted🤞
He was literally saying people should take cr of themselves..have safe sex ..#hiv
usibhekisa ukuthi isikhathi esingangonyaka sincane kangakanani ukusichithela ezintweni esingazibuyiseli lutho.ezocansi,ukuphuza nokubhema.nokuba imidlwembe emalokishini ethu nasemakhaya.
Nami angmuzwa but uyezwa ukuthi ujilile
He still is gifted...his music was ahead of it's time 🎉🎉. And I am writing this with a smile on my face because he is sitting right in front of me🎉🎉🎉
R.I.P to my bestfriend Mpumelelo Dubazane he was crazy about this song,he was always rewinding it on our radio cassette
🙏🙏
🕊️💞
❤❤🙏🙏
🤍✨💐
May your soul countinue to rest in peace ✌🙏💔
12March2024 and this is still my Fav. Tuks please come back❤️
03April❤
I am with you
I hate when people say ama 2k don't know good music cause this is one of my favourites, it reminds of road trips with my dad.
Are you a 2k?
those are the road trips u always remember
Lol tell them girl ukuthi to understand a good music akudingi ukuthi uzalwe nini😀
Girrl
Another 2k here
I wrote the lyrics of this song from a tape recorder, listening and pausing, and using a pen to rewind, 2006 and still now the lyrics are on head
+Phiri Samuel lols dawg am touched with your story, i guess you ow own proper stereo.
+Phiri Samuel Write here in English what he is saying?
Please post them.
Me too, i used that system that you used on many Tuks songs and the lyrics are still in my head👌🔥
It looks like I wasn't the only one who went through that torture mos
Even in my country "Botswana" no one can write Setswana better than Tuks... The greatest ever Motswakolista
agreed. WE slept on him
@@happyclappy1805 Nah, thats not true. We got Nomadic the father of Motswako.
Tswana and North West same place a border means nothing same people same lingo!
HT TAUTONA CAN THOU
@@realsebsworld3004 ya we are actually same people, most batswana can trace their relatives in SA and most villages in Botswana are called in the same name as the village the settlers came from in SA.
You can combine RSA🇿🇦 and Botswana 🇧🇼
You wont find anyone who can write Setswana better than Tuks
It reminds me of the day I express my love for my wife:it was the year 2006,,,there were obviously ups & downs but through the Mercy of our Lord we are still together with our 2 beautiful kids (girl & a boy) hey 2019 😊😊!
This is so beautiful even my mom and dad been together for like 24 years ever since 1996 and i was born in the year 1999 followed by my siblings who were also born in 2008 and 2010 this song just brings the warmth
This song reminds me of my late mom. She was a big fan of Tuks. I'm here solely for her ❤️
It is Sunday 2023 May 28...I'm listening to this masterpiece ❤❤❤
The emotions in this song is too much❤❤❤
I remember my uncle used to play Tuks everyday, I was like 6/7 years old from KZN but I actually learnt Setswana from Tuks' songs, now I'm living in Jozi I don't struggle with languages such as Setswana, SeSotho and Pedi like most of my Durbanites 😂😂 music really is amazing though 🙏
Motswako
love this, we are winning as black men if we can learn this.
I also learned a lot from Sjava nna kea bolela
Nowadays there is no music
This is a classic it will remain relevent throughout
I'm Zulu but i love this song very much 😭😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

2021 and beyond..still listening to the G.O.A.T dankie for the all-time good music Tuks
Me too mate
You lived to pass man... but we are still with you at heart my home...
He wrote setswana in 525 600 languages & connected everyone ❤

SA hip hop has lost its real meaning and identity. They just copy everything in US. Tuks was a genius and way ahead of his time. I still listen to his music today
I agree
Seriously tf happened we had our own style which was executed brilliantly and to a t
True. I've been saying the very same thing. Even people in the US, who are aware of SA Hip-Hop, said that they do exactly what is done in the US and there is nothing to listen to.
I used to hear this song on the radio when I was a kid... bumping into it now in 2018 makes me so emotional 😌😌🙌
This song will always have a special connection to myself... The year is 2024 ❤❤❤❤
Who's here in 2019? Love you Tuks. Listening to this with my wife and she knows these lyrics word by word. Love u son . 08.07.19
th-cam.com/video/o6cO9m1Ds4g/w-d-xo.html
March 2024 still slaps so hard
Goes to prove you don't have to understand the lyrics to appreciate good music. Come back Tuks, local hip hop needs you.
Spice Shabalala we need him.
Well said bro. Im Zulu and i dont know sht about setswana but eish i feel him bro. Just connecting.
@@bonganicele1475 This song hits me deep. I also don't understand what he's rapping about here.
BRO!!!
still like it
it reminds me of my first year at varsity in 2007 in Mafikeng. it brings back great memories. I respect Tuks. in my opinion he is the best rapper from Mafikeng

I'm Zulu and still listening to Senganga in 2020 after COVID
2018 Jan 02... still gets me emotional.
karabo moerane still stuck in your past
❤
Most of these songs seem open wounds or memories of the past irreplaceable. Songs carry heavy emotion and the exact time and place you were at.
No wonder when asleep the subconscious can play an entire song you listened to 20 years ago the way it is. 5th dimension is nothing like 3d.
On the 02 January 2019
This song still slaps harder🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I didn't understand a single word from this song but it touched my heart because it felt so deep, I was at home KZN doing grade 10 at home we were starving spent 2 days with no food but at school I was doing so dam good. Salute Singanga🙌
I hope you succeeded with your school journey in the midst of the struggle you mentioned ❤
Let me leave a note here today 2023.10.06 somewhere in the middle east. When you like this i will remember my days away from Afrika and ZAR missing home jamming Tuks, Mo Molemi, Dj Luc SA mid tempo mixes, Podcast and chill, King David studios, anything and everything that will sooth my heart a bit.
Love you SA love you Afrika.
Aluta....
It's the year 2024 and we grateful for the life we live.

Make an effort Marvin Mashele if you understand the Setswana/Sotho or Pedi basics you will never go wrong!
I'm sotho but I could only understand 20 % of what he said.
I play this song feeling my best days are to come soon, blessed are those who recognize the Lord, love and blessings to all ya'll deserve what's at heart
I remember back in 07 I was listening to this song 😔 received some devastating news that my DNT Teacher gotta involved in a car accident and didn't make it what a loving and humble man he was Long Live Mr Keresepe 🙏

I remember in high school, 2008 in rural venda Vhufulu at Tshivhase secondary school, telling Thanyana Nedzamba about this song. Now we in Jozi raising our families.
Pure and proudly South African
Still relevant, still one of the best tracks to come out of Mzantsi. Almost a decade and Tuks Senganga is still isthwala-ndwe of SA hip hop.

Almost 2 decades and we still here.. danko BRA TUKS!
