Nov 18, 2008 - Are you talking about the guy who owned it when this song was released or the current owner, who took it over in the post aparthied era? If you're referring to the owner of Sun City when this was released, I'll back you up.
AmbientMusic Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Right, it's the same dude. Solomon (Sol) Kerzne. Fvcker shares my same name! I'm mortified! From Wikki: "As a result of the success of the Sun City resort, he got involved in international hotel and gambling resorts; most notable is his role as the innovative developer behind the well-known Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. His latest major development was suggested to be a proposed giant casino on the site of the Millennium Dome in London"
AmbientMusic Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - The money for Kerzne's current ventures were derived from Apartide! He also has enterprises in the States: "He also developed and managed the Mohegan Sun casino located in Uncasville, Connecticut through a joint venture with the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut called Trading Cove Associates. TCA relinquished its management of the resort in 2002 but Kerzner through his company will still receive a 5% dividend on the gross revenue generated by Mohegan Sun until 2014."

Nov 18, 2008 - I am a South African, I had to leave my country, home, family and friends, there are no jobs, because of the sanctions.You also wrong in thinking that I am asking for help for white South Africans, I am not a racist, I am asking for help for all South Africans all 40 million need help - all the countries that helped destroy it should help rebuild it too - not disappear after causing the economic downfall and leave the people they claimed to help to kill each other because there is no work.
AmbientMusic Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - S.A. fell apart from the inside out. The bloody was doomed from the start. The US has had sanctions against Cuba for 40 odd years, but they're still chugging along. Boycotting Krugerrands did not destroy your country.
AmbientMusic Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - That should read bloody apartheid. To hold on to those policies as long as S.A. did was patently absurd. S.A. is simply another one of the British Empires failed colonies. Petition the Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for Redress!

Nov 18, 2008 - I wish "Sun City" was as popular as "We Are the World". It does everything so much better. Shows South Africans being active and not passive (helpless). Shows movement, and people raising their fists.
BeatleBangs1964 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - A damn good song that is relevant today!
BeatleBangs1964 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Maco, I am so sorry.I never liked "We Are the World" and thought it maudlin, although I appreciate the sentiment. I wish this song had gotten more air play because it is a strong comment on the South African repressionist regime that the world needed to know about. No "We Are the World" for me. I ain't gonna play Sun City, don't ask me Sun City, 'cause I AIN'T gonna play!

Nov 18, 2008 - Who invited Vince Neil? He doesn't really fit in, I am not quite sure social injustice is high on his priority list. Didn't he kill Razzle from Hanoi Rocks around the time of this video?
idislikeaparade Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - ironically, i believe it's mike monroe from hanoi rocks in the video. you can't go wrong with joey ramone and lou reed... and daryl hannah.

Nov 18, 2008 - the very end of the song, what are they saying in Swazi language? or what words are
AmbientMusic Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Macro, if anybody owes South Africa anything, it would be the British Empire, NOT America, ya Jerk ya! Half of the musicians in the video are British or Aussies or something other than American! Stop begging for welfare and fix your own damn problems. Start by petitioning the Queen for redress, as you are one of her Commonwealth States.
