Game Bantsi popularly known as rapper Zeus, caused a stir at the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) festival on Saturday when he performed Tupac’s classic hit, Changes. His choice of Tupac’s 1998 hit was perceived as suggesting change and extending support to opposition.

‘Change’ is a primary word in the slogan coined by the opposition Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC), which says, “Let’s Embrace Change”.

The BDP organisers were left with egg on their faces as Zeus got the audience entranced in the moment and rapped the song, with lyrics like, “We gotta make a change…It’s time for us as a people to start making some changes. Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live and let’s change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn’t working so it’s on us to do what we gotta do, to survive.”
