    Imbongi is praising the City of Saints. Even though Grahamstown is now Makhanda,  the City of Saints is to him the same. He is very excited about Makhanda. He asks all writers, imbongis from different backgrounds, modern and traditional, to write about the City of Saints, which according to him, is Makhanda. Ise ngumntwana wenu bahlali

    Mazibhale iimbongi zosiba.
    Maziprofiteshe iimbongi zomthonyama,
    zithi ithi Imbongi yemveli.
    Buya sixeko ndini sengcwele,
    Sixeko ndini esidiliza iintombi noonyana  baba Ntu.

    Ewe ubufudula ubizwa nge sixeko sengcwele,
    iiNkokheli zakaLizwi ziphuma kuwe.
    Wabizwa nge sixeko sika Makhanda,
    iiKumkani neekumanikazi zomthonyama,
    zizalwa nguwe kodwa akonelisekanga.
    Buya sixeko ndini buya.
    Wabuya wabizwa ngeSixeko semfundo ephakamileyo.
    Iinqcali neekcuba buchopho zivela kuwe,
    Hayi kodwa akonelisekanga.

    Kodwa ndinombuzo endifuna ukubuza wona,
    Baphina oomama baseRhini?
    Babefudula benyuka Intaba yeZiyoni,
    Beyocela Imvula babuye sela bezikhama ityali zabo.
    Buya sixeko sengcwele buya.
    OoCeba maba gilane baxoxe ngalomba,
    OoSodolophu maba phefumle ngala nyewe.
    Iinkokheli zakwa lizwi mazithandaze avele umvezi ngxaki ,

    Owu wabuya umlisela nomthinjana

    Wabuya sixeko sika Makhanda
    Owu sabuya isixeko Sengcwele
    bathandaza oomama neentombi zabo
    Bashumayela ootata noonyana babo.
