Mama No BabaMother and Father,
Ukulahla Ithawula Akuyona Indlel’ Engafunda Ngayothrowing in the towel isn’t the way I was raised.
Ingqinamba Namba Ayithelelani EndleleniThe many obstacles don’t just clear from my path.
Sukukuqoma ManikhonaI won’t give up while you’re still here.
Kwakumnyama NasemnyangoIt was dark even at the doorstep.
Amahloni Engisinda EhlombeThe shame was a heavy weight on my shoulders.
Kodwa Ngeke Ngeke Siphinde Silal’ Ekhaya SingadlileBut never, never again will we go to sleep at home hungry.
Nayi Indodakazi IsigadlileHere’s your daughter, she’s finally made it.
Lingapheli Ithemba KimiDon’t let hope fade away in me.
Ng’sayophanda Ng’sazobuyaI’m still out ‘hustling’ to provide, I’ll be back.
Khuphuka SmallRise up, Small.
