I am signing because Reggae music is the Soul of our lives, it's the heart beat of the entire universe. Reggae music is the van-guard of the voiceless poor mass. Reggae music played pivotal role towards the end of Apartheid in SA. It is disheartening to see how Reggae music has been marginalized by the country's authorities. Even when it was declared and added to the list by the UN as an International Cultural Treasures. Reggae music is our cultural heritage. Reggae music is cerebral, sociopolitical, sensual and spiritual. Reggae music is a vehicle for social commentary, Reggae music Advocates for social justice. How do you stand against such a pure force seeking to end world suffering in any form.
