Shakira’s Shameless Theft and the Broader Colonial Playbook: From Stolen Cameroonian Songs to FIFA’s Destruction of African Football
Shakira’s “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” the official anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, was never an original creation. It was a blatant, uncredited rip-off of the 1986 Cameroonian song “Zangalewa” by Golden Sounds. FIFA and Shakira never properly credited or compensated the original artists.
The original track was sharp political satire - mocking black African soldiers who collaborated with white colonial officers during World War II, sarcastically calling them “good soldiers” for betraying their own. Shakira flipped it into a feel-good stadium chant praising footballers as “good soldiers.”
Pure cultural appropriation and intellectual property theft, sanitized for global consumption and profit.
This wasn’t isolated. Michael Jackson and James Brown were also accused of plagiarizing Cameroonian artists, settling out of court. Yet Shakira faced little backlash - because stealing from Africa remains standard industry practice when backed by FIFA’s money machine.
Shakira’s lack of principles runs even deeper. While pregnant with Gerard Piqué’s first child in early 2012, she was mentioned in the Epstein files as part of the “Mothers Army”, high-profile women recruited to help rehabilitate the convicted child sex trafficker’s image after his 2008 conviction.
She was linked to bizarre meetings with Jeffrey Epstein himself at the exact time she was carrying another man’s child. No moral compass. Just raw ambition and opportunism.
Collaborators: The Eternal Feature of Colonialism
Collaborators have always been the backbone of colonialism. In Kenya, they were literally called Homeguards - local traitors armed and used by the British to suppress the Mau Mau freedom fighters.
After the theatrical “independence” of 1963, these same Homeguards led by Jomo Kenyatta and their offspring were groomed into first-order politicians. It was never real liberation, just a change of management. White colonial domination and subjugation simply put on black faces and continued business as usual.
FIFA has perfected this model on a continental scale. By installing Patrice Motsepe as president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), they turned the body into a clear outpost of European dominance. Over 60% of CAF’s staffers are dual-passport holders (diaspora elites with European citizenship), more loyal to foreign interests than to African football development.
The deliberate destruction of African domestic leagues ensures that eyeballs, lucrative betting syndicate sponsorships, and extortionate satellite TV subscriptions all flow back to Europe. African talent is harvested young, developed minimally, then exported to enrich European clubs while local infrastructure collapses.
Shakira’s theft of a Cameroonian song to soundtrack the first African World Cup was not an innocent artistic choice - it was symbolic of the entire parasitic system. FIFA didn’t want authentic African voices; they wanted palatable, marketable ones that reinforce the extraction model.
From stolen music to stolen sovereignty, the pattern is the same: Africa creates, others appropriate and profit.
The collaborators - whether Homeguards turned presidents or diaspora technocrats in CAF - simply facilitate the handover.
The beautiful game deserves better. Africa deserves better. And figures like Shakira, who steal African creativity while cozying up to Epstein’s network, embody the shameless opportunism at the heart of it all.
Safaricom removed a perfectly working M-Pesa app and forced this ‘one app’ on everyone, for what?
It keeps freezing, lagging, crashing, and can’t even search contacts properly.
Now, after the latest update, I need a SIM card on my phone just to use an app in 2026??
Did anyone even test this thing before rollout?
Nothing about this is better. Nothing.
People are just enduring it because there’s no alternative.
You can’t tell me I’m the only one dealing with this
If you're the guy driving the white car that was just hit at the junction of Thigiri Ridge Road & Redhill Road by a BLACK XTRAIL that took off, another car and I tried to chase it, we lost it near Rosslyn Riviera but here's its number plate:
