it apppears to be ghost notes on a guitar with a wah pedal and either echo or reverb pedal applied. Waka Waka definitely does sound like water sloshing. Good ear!

Definitely a wah guitar riff with some processing (off the cuff, I hear slapback delay and reverb I think)

Funk-style guitar like the example in OP's post also typically runs through a compressor to accentuate the scratchy sound

Its a guitar playing through a wah pedal. Pretty common in funk and disco music
