Cogta Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma has thanked and congratulated Max Hurrell for creating the viral ZOL song, which has entertained the nation during the lockdown.
Hurrell shared his direct message exchange with the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs after he asked her to follow him back.
In the DM, the Shots Fired producer greeted Dlamini Zuma and gave his email address.
Dlamini Zuma then responded and said: “Well done on entertaining the nation during this difficult period while maintaining respect for your trade. I hope you will continue to use your platform to empower and inspire others now more than ever. Good luck!”

The tweet comes after ZOL went viral when Hurrell sampled Dlamini Zuma’s speech, and turned it into an EDM-infused song.
The song quickly circulated online, even finding itself as a dance challenge on TikTok, and made its way to Dlamini Zuma.
