Defiant Machete-Wielding South Africa Pastor Releases New Song, "Ngiyaba Slicer"
Controversial South African cleric Pastor Mboro, whose real name is Paseka Motsoeneng, has released a new song titled “Ngiyaba Slicer,” just days after spending 40 days in prison.
Motsoeneng was last month released on R3 000 bail while his co-accused, while his co-accused, his bodyguard Vincent Baloyi, was released on a warning. Both are scheduled to return to court on October 21.
On Sunday, a video of the pastor singing went viral on social media, surprising many with his newfound musical interest.
In the song, Motsoeneng asserts that no matter how many adversaries he faces, he will “slice” them, which some interpret as a reference to his detractors.
In an interview with TshisaLIVE, Mboro explained that his inspiration to record the song came from the talented individuals he encountered during his time in prison. He said:
It’s me who’s singing. I need to control the narrative and the direction of the song, what I meant and what was I saying in the song.
I have to officially release the song, I need to apply my mind to it have clarity, and understand how music works.
While I was in prison I heard songs and I’d like to meet the guys who did the songs. I think we have talent in South Africa.
Mboro, Baloyi, and his son are facing 12 charges, including kidnapping, possession of an unlicensed firearm, and assault.
The charges stem from an incident at Matsediso Primary School in Katlehong, where the three men allegedly kidnapped two minors on August 5.
A video of the incident went viral on social media, capturing the trio armed with machetes and an assault rifle as they forcibly took the children.
