VIDEOS: If he doesn’t know these Joe Mafela ads, he’s definitely a Ben 10

Pastors did not start shutting down parties now – even Joe had the same experience in his time.


A Facebook page in honour of late legend Joe Mafela has been created, and it has reminded South Africans of the good old times with him. In the page, people have shared his famous songs and scenes from Mzansi’s loved TV dramas.

If you’re having trouble deciding if he/she is too young for you, or if you should start dating at all, this should be your ultimate test. For those who have been asking what age gap makes a Ben 1o, also use this as a test.

Below are some of the videos that were shared:

The song, Shebeleza, that was released in 1998 had everyone dancing. Watch the video posted on YouTube by Gallo Music below:

Before the cravings, we had Joe Mafela’s laugh that made all of us fall in love with Chicken Licken. Remember when Mam’fundisi threatened to shut down the party and Mafela had the perfect plan to stop her? Watch the video below posted on YouTube by Michael dos Santos:

Remember when Joe just could not spend 10 cents on an artists because he had plans for it?

Shem, you didn’t know that Chicken Licken used to sell pies too? And they were less than R3, mchana. Watch the video below:

Joe Mafela passed away on Saturday night after been involved in a car crash.

Mafela was involved in a car accident at about 10pm on the M1 North between the Oxford and Houghton roads’ off-ramps in Johannesburg.

He had a storied career that covered film, television and the stage, also writing songs and producing films.

He started acting in 1964, breaking out in his debut film, Real News. However, he will be most remembered for playing the character of Sdumo on the isiZulu sitcom, Sgudi ‘Snaysi, which was very popular in the 1980s and early 90s.
