Seuz vows to take South Africans head on

Botswana rapper Seuz is upbeat about taking on his South African counterparts in their own backyard.

Seuz was born Game Goabaone Bantsi at Serowe and is in the country not only to study, but also to exploit what he calls loopholes in the hip-hop fraternity. "South Africa is full of opportunities, but most people don't see them," he says. "Many live in a box, and want to meet certain standards. Township mentality distracts them from achieving their goals.

They are probably embarrassed to be what they want to be, because communities may think that they are fake." The emphasis that flows with his voice convinces that he knows what he is talking about. "I don't have to be like you in order to relate to you. However, we have the same themes in life, we all know love, hate and sadness." He says he is better off because he is armed with education, willpower and has a global perspective of issues. Relating to South African audience would not be a hindrance. "My music is life in general. I can relate to South Africans. Our lifestyle is the same. We are only divided by a border that was created by colonialists."
