Clegg, later dubbed the 'white Zulu,' was sure his song's message would be lost. At the time, his new genre of music, a blend of Western pop and Zulu rhythms, was banned from the radio — as Mandela's photo was banned from newspapers. Clegg's concerts were routinely broken up, and he and other members of his multiracial band had been arrested several times for challenging a South African law meant to keep whites and blacks apart.
