Johannesburg - Popular house music DJ, Shimza has thrown his weight behind a party he calls his home, the ANC.
Social media was divided on whether the DJ should've pronounced his political choice.
Last week Shimza spoke at the ANC celebrated persons convention, thanking the ANC for the opportunities provided to him.
"I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for the ANC. I would be dodging bullets but because of the ANC I'm not."
