Mawubuye uMzantsi Afrika
By Ntsiki Khunju
Waphalala sikujongile, sizwe sikaPhalo
Yini, Mzantsi Afrika omhle
Ntombendala, sakubukela usonakala
Iintsana zakho zalamba ekhaya
Saphela isizwe likrele nendlala
Zaguquka iinkokheli zaba ziintshaba
Zoxutha ikamva isonka salo
Zabulala ingomso leentsana zelizwe labo
Latshona ilanga emini
Yini, Mzantsi Afrika omhle
Waphalala sikujongile, mzi ontsundu
Akwaba saqwalasela iimpawo zesigulo ziqala
Akwaba ngesaanqanda, asabukela sasonga iizandla
Mhlawumbi ngekungenje namhlanje
Mhlawumbi nyani ngekungenje namhlanje
Sopha silile sizikhothe amanxeba
Kunakaloku nje, ithuba lokupholisa elilizwe silinikiwe
Okwethu kukulisukumela sililwele
Siloxuthe ezandleni zeentshaba esasiba ngamaqhawe ethu
Mzantsi Afrika, ntombendala entle
Beka ithemba lakho kubantwana bakho
Musa ukulila, yosula iinyembezi emehlweni akho
Ziimile iintsana zakho zixhobile ngeli ixesha
Zizothabatha indawo yazo esfubeni sika nina
Zizokhusela isidima somzali wazo
Nangona zingxwelekerhile, zidiniwe, ziqumbile
Zisenalo ithemba loba lizakubuya liphinde libeyintombi elakubo
Mzantsi Afrika wookhokho bethu- sikho thina, sizolanda wena.
Mayibuye, iAfrika!
