i think it depends whatthe current goernment is, that will decide whter the politcal music is from the right or left.

I won't take all of SA (we have 11 official languages) but just my father tongue of Afrikaans. Before 1994 you could really protest from the right, as the government was as right as they come. So there was protest songs (some of the most briljant songs in the language - even Nationalists loved it, but ignored or most probably just did not get the message).

Now we are seeing a huge amount of right winger songs, young white south Africans standing with one hand on their heart, the other waving the old SA flag or the FourColour (that will be like waving the Confederate flag) and singing songs like De la Rey, which is a song for an old General who fought the British to rise up and lead the poeple in figting again.

Strangely enough, and I may be clouded by my own leftist views, but I've had support on this by people with knowledge of music, it is probably the worst music you can find in our language.
