‘Shout for a safer SA’ campaign with Kabelo
The SHOUT campaign works in association with Primedia's Crime Line, and is the vision of artists Danny K and Kabelo Mabalane (1995) to raise money and encourage South Africans to get involved in the fight against crime. According to Danny K he was inspired to use the music industry to get involved in the fight against crime in 2007, after the untimely death of music legend Lucky Dube due to crime. "That was the big catalyst in my mind that something needed to be done," said Danny K. Danny talked to his friend and fellow musician Kabelo, and together they started talking to other South African musicians and record companies to get as many as possible to throw their weight behind the SHOUT campaign.
