I wish I was in Jo'burg for his 12 Years A Poet. So much love for you Bhud' Vus' all the way from CPT

A poem about South Africa... THE LAND OF UBUNTU From Musina to Cape Town From Zeerust to Richards Bay From Golela to Alexander Bay From Lebombo mountains to Mafikeng Minus the mountainous terrain of Lesotho This is South Africa Her wrinkles tell you she’s seen it all From the Cape frontier wars to the Anglo-Boer wars From the battle of Blood river to the battle of Isandlwana From the Sharpeville massacre to bloody June 16 But yet she still smiles gracefully And her friendliness is known world over This is South Africa She belongs to all who live in her Those pledging allegiance to her majestic flag Those who want to see her prosper Those who know what it means to say Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika I love Mbeki when he says I owe my being to the hills and the valleys The mountains and the glades, the rivers, the deserts The trees, the flowers, the seas and the ever-changing seasons That define the face of our native land I love Sobukwe when he says We can never do enough for Africa Nor can we love her enough The more we do for her, the more we wish to do for her You have a mission; we all have a mission A nation to build we have, a God to glorify And a contribution clear to make towards the blessing of mankind We must be the embodiment of our people's aspirations I love Biko when he says The basic tenet of black consciousness Is that the black man must reject all value systems That seek to make him a foreigner In the country of his birth And reduce his basic human dignity I love Luthuli when he says I am only one among millions Who have dedicated their lives to the service of mankind Who have given time property and life To ensure that all men shall live in peace and happiness And I like to here say That there are many in my country who are doing so I love Mandela when he says I have fought against white domination And I have fought against black domination I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society In which all persons live together In harmony and with equal opportunities I love Serote when he says You shall remember Because memory unlike the eye knows no sleep That today comes from a past yesterday The footprints of that past yesterday Like the wind Are everywhere now I love Kgositsile when he says Our memories of struggle Refuse to be erased Our memories of struggle Refuse to die This is my beautiful South Africa To those trusted with her government I say honour her flag Remember the many who died for her Remember the selfless sacrifices of multitudes Think of the words of Letta Mbulu It is not yet Uhuru This is South Africa To those who visit her I say Honour her flag and respect her borders Refrain from criminal and dishonourable behaviour Do not take her Ubuntu for granted Harken to the Zulu idiom that says isihlahla asinyelwa God bless South Africa Let greed and corruption fall Let the racism tendencies fall Let unemployment and poverty fall May the dream of a free education come true And may radical economic transformation arise Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika (Poem by Bheki Zungu - sbongoz@gmail.com)

This is another level creative, phenomenal delivery. The background singing is getting on the way though. It needs to be more quieter and subtle to enhance your delivery.

I must say he kind of was irritating at first but he made up for it once he got started
