Known for her classical hit Umqombothi, Yvonne Chaka Chaka has been added onto the ONE Campaign celebrity list which aims to eradicate poverty in Africa.

ONE is a movement of three million people in African and around the world fighting the injustice of extreme poverty. The latest campaign sees ONE partnering up with various musicians across the globe who've each been asked to record a protest song for the campaign in the bid to fight poverty in Africa. 

Chaka Chaka will be joining other artist such as U2, Elvis Costello with Mumford and Sons, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day and Kid Rock. 

It’s been reported that Chaka Chaka’s single Amazing Man, which was written more than 20 years ago, will be her contribution to the list of protest songs for the One Campaign. What's also interesting is that the song is all about Madiba.

Chaka Chaka took to Twitter to announce the news: @YvonneChakax2: “I Joined @ONEcampaign initiative to end poverty. Yes @wecanfightpoverty using #protestsongs. I’m singing Amazing Man.”

She added, "Music can change the world so I sang one of my favorite #protestsongs for a good cause."

On the ONE campaign website a clear message as to why protests songs are used as the forefront to fight poverty is written:  “Protest songs have helped shape history, proving that when people come together and raise voices, extraordinary things can happen.”

A couple of months of ago the likes of Bono leader of the band U2 and founder and chairman of Virgin Group Richard Branson released a promo video for the ONE Campaign. The video takes a jab at conspiracy lovers who have taken the theory of Illuminati too far. Watch the video below - some viewers thought it's a bit condescending while others think it's quite humorous,. What are your thoughts?
