Pics: Cassper Nyovest's 'Mr Madumane' video launch

Cassper Nyovest’s latest track, ‘Mr Madumane’ (Big $pendah), was released recently at an exclusive event in Maboneng. The hip-hop star’s latest offering is guaranteed to heat up dance floors, but the song was written with a higher purpose in mind. 

Timed to coincide with National Savings Month, the track is Nyovest’s attempt to urge South Africans to get wise with their money, to think twice before getting into debt, and to prioritise clever saving and investing for the future over flashy spending. Quite commendable considering

At the video launch Cassper stressed the importance of saving more and spending less.

“We all know a Mr Madumane, the flamboyant guy you never see without a flashy accessory. He spends thousands trying to impress everyone, yet no one is impressed. This attitude is what inspired this song. We need to rethink what’s important to us. We keep spending ourselves poor trying to look rich. We need to realise that you can’t spend yourself rich. Which is why the message of ‘Mr Madumane’ (Big $pendah) is so relevant. South Africans need to realise how they allow society to pressurise them into debt – if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it,” explains Nyovest.

Industry peers and fans of the star came out in their hundreds to support Cassper's initiative. Here are some of the pictures from the night.

Even Bongani Fassie made an appearance, it's good to see him back in the swing of things, hopefully, he'll be realising some more music later on in the year. The South African music industry needs him.
