Hailing all the way from Durban, the artist premiered his new song, We Are All Monkeys to confront the racial issues that have plagued South Africa recently.

Stopping by The Gareth Cliff Show this morning with his girlfriend and fellow musician Marilyn, Lebogang said, “When I look back at it, you know, our cradle of mankind, it’s in Africa. We’re all related in some form hence why I said we’re all the same.”
