President's office acknowledges receipt of industry letter

The President's office confirmed late last week that it had received and noted the contents of the letter sent to President Zuma by Y&R, which addressed the issue of struggle songs and suggested that the President encourage conciliation by changing his song from Umshini Wami (Bring Me My Machinegun) to Umshini Wakho (Bring Us Your Machineguns). It suggested that he could guide South Africans into a new era and urge citizens to hand in their guns to the South African Police Service.
