Why is all the Kwaito I've heard (about 20 songs, admittedly) so slow?

Its like really slow house beats. Is that just the local preference, or is there some kind of influence on it that drags the tempo down from chicago house or euro house or what have you? This might be a stupid question.

five months pass...

The little kwaito I've heard is at r'n'b tempos...

The stuff I've heard has all been pretty slow... I'm not sure why it's made that way, maybe different drugs or made slower to fit the vocals better. Surely someone here from SA will know more.

most of the township jive I've heard has been slow, too--maybe that's why
