The unveiling ceremony of Jabulani “Jabba” Tsambo took place on Saturday 29th October 2022 at the Heroes Acre section of Mmabatho cemetery in Mahikeng.
Rapper Jabulani Tsambo, also known by his stage name Hip Hop Pantsula, later abbreviated to HHP, is a Motswako from South Africa who performs largely in Setswana. He had a significant role in introducing South African hip hop and Motswako Rap to the general public.
The unveiling took place after 4 years after the death of hip-hop rapper Jabulani Tsambo at the Heroes Acre section of Mmabatho cemetery in Mahikeng with close friends and family. Since making his debut with the album Introduction years ago, HHP aka Jabba has given the industry a number of successes. There was no stopping HHP after he entered the hip-hop scene and revolutionized it with his distinctively vernac rap bars. His record collection is extremely impressive.
Numerous well-known South African hip-hop songs from the early 2000s were the creation of Jabba. Many South African summer anthems were produced by HHP, including Harambe, Bosso Ke Mang, Music and Lights, Tswaka, and Jabba. The Motswako musician also worked with many other great musicians, like Cassper Nyovest, Shuga Smax, Proverb, Kuli Chana, Tuks, and Uhuru, to write and produce songs that are being played at social gatherings today.
By honouring his memory, his supporters continue to enjoy his music like; Harambe, from his album Omang Reloaded, which was released ten years after South Africa's first democratic elections. HHP paid tribute to the youth of 1976, whose sacrifi¬ces he owes the freedom from having to carry a dompas or "call no one a baas." HHP made sure Harambe wasn't misunderstood as a political statement by stating at the beginning of the song that he was "not the political type," but rather that it was an acknowledgement of the efforts done by regular young people and everyone participating in the cause.
Jabulani Tsambo, who was born on September 14, 1980, passed away on October 24 at the age of 38 in his Johannesburg home.
