Background

"Mine Bengidzakiwe" is a traditional song whose composer is anonymous. The song is still sung in Swaziland's ceremonies. The direct translation of the title is "I was drunk". It concerns a typical African homestead where a husband has two wives. One wife locks the other in a "hut" (traditional kitchen) in the hope of being alone with the husband. A third person says "You should never lock someone in the hut" and the culprit responds with the line, "I was drunk".

Recording

"Mine Bengidzakiwe", was recorded by artists Deborah Steenkamp and Sifiso S-tone Magagula, in Johannesburg, South Africa, reportedly in the living room of producer Sabside [1] with minimal studio equipment. It was remixed by Sabside and became a hit from late 2007 to 2008. [2] It was licensed to DJ Christos [3] who later released it as part of a compilation Edladleni for the Sdunkero label. It was also licensed to Afrotainment, [4] a Durban based label and was later released under a compilation for DJ CNDO.

Conflict

Since its release the origin of the song has been a matter of controversy in the music industry, apparently because of the number of licensors involved.

Though only some could be verified via the Recording Industry Association of America's website, Paycheck's own website asserts that he accrued 6 Gold certified albums, 2 Platinum certified albums and 1 double Platinum album over his long career. Johnny Paycheck's last gospel recording before he died was a duet with a young unknown Christian artist named Robert Hampton in 1992, titled "I Love My Jesus" written by Terry Parkerson. The recording was for radio airplay only, never for sale to the public. It charted nationally. The song can be heard on YouTube under Robert Hampton and Johnny Paycheck.
