The Industry Part 1

This is something that I'm mos def gonna regret deeply, but it has to be pointed out. Racism is not a new concept in this beautiful country of ours.
All aspects of Government are riddled with corruption - which shouldn't come as a shock since most Members of Parliament are ex-cons. Let me not veer too far away from my main topic of discussion: The SA Music Industry.
'94 brought about some welcome changes to a country torn apart by apartheid, but, the music industry is still as divided as ever. Take the award shows for instance, there've allegations of bias and more recently, vote-rigging. 2007, El' Vovo should've won Kwaito Album Of The Year instead of Kabelo (I'm a big fan). In 2008, DJ Cleo didn't win Song Of The Year, although, he had the most-played song at the time. Granted, I don't know the criteria used at the SAMA Awards, but some of the decisions are a little suspect.
