Emtee Shares Heartfelt Tribute To Former President Jacob Zuma In Reflective Post. Emtee has stirred reflection across South African hip hop after sharing an archival newspaper photograph from a June 16 commemoration, a moment that captured the rapper greeting the country’s then head of state.
The post reads like a time capsule, placing a charting artist inside a national rite of remembrance that honours the 1976 generation and the long road to freedom. “Don’t mind my hair. I had to take my hat off for ubaba. Thank you for protecting utata (Mandela) while he was still alive,” Emtee wrote, pairing the image with a message that blends humility, reverence, and cultural language.
The photograph, taken at a stadium ceremony packed with officials and onlookers, echoes a particular era in the star’s rise. Around that period, Emtee was already a SAMA-winning artist, the breakout face of a new wave that pushed township swagger and soulful melodies into the mainstream. The image shows a young musician standing where art meets state ritual, reminding fans that popular culture often intersects with the rituals that shape national identity.
For a generation that did not live through 1976, Youth Day is learned through stories, ceremonies, and images like this one. Emtee’s post reads as both a gesture of respect and a nod to the generational links between South African music and politics.
