Mzansi Super League song ‘Che Bang Bang’ will officially be launched by composer and radio personality DJ Fresh later this week.

DJ Fresh: ‘I was enthused when I heard about Mzansi Super League and a new T20 tournament that was proudly South African coming through. I got inspired to make a fast and catchy tune to create a song with a beat that showcases our style.

‘There is the dance element as well. Being that we are a country that is always innovative with starting new dance floor trends – we are a happy nation that loves to shake and perform co-ordinated dance moves.’

Cricket South Africa acting head of communications Koketso Gaofetoge: ‘Hopefully the fans will be switched on to the Mzansi Super League digital platforms to see this anthem being officially launched and also get their first snippets of the story behind “Che Bang Bang”.’

 SABC spokesperson Neo Momodu: ‘These are exciting times on South Africa’s sporting landscape since the kick-off of the Mzansi Super League. Our promise to our audiences was to make the game of cricket accessible to all. Cricket is a fun sport that creates new friendships and everlasting memories.

‘The creation of the Mzansi Super League theme song, in partnership with DJ Fresh is part of our strategy of creating a tune aligned to the hottest sporting event this summer and that will motivate all South Africans to get behind the event. “Che Bang Bang”, the official theme song, will be play-listed across all our SABC radio stations for our audiences to enjoy.’
