EzikaMAZISI KAMDABULI WEKUNENE

I have been obsessively reading and re-reading the works of one of Azania's foremost poets/biographers and authors. The celebrated and significantly undaunted late great Mazisi Kunene. The book I have been obsessed with lately is titled Isibusiso SikaMhawu published in 1994 at the dawn of the South African democratic transition.

Yena lowo osesihlabele inkabi emhlophe
Usesibungaza usesibonisa ububanzi bakhe
Ngokuba sithe nalapho sibusa
Sabesizibona izihlupheki zamukeliswa amathambo
Sabesiwezwa amazwi enhamba ezimemeza
