    Ngu: Dudu Saki

    The poem is about HOPE. According to the imbongi, hope is what sustains us even when we look at our
    circumstances and find that they are contrary to what we’re going through. Please read and be encouraged.

    Ithemba

    Camagwini mabandla ase Makhanda.

    Ngumsobomvu owandulel’ ilanga
    emva kwesithoko-thoko esingenanyanga
    Ngumnyama emva kwesichotho
    Yinzolo emva koqhwithel’ olumandla
    Yintsholo yeentaka zibulel’ Ophezukonke
    Zizingqi zamadoda ngentseni esiya kuxelengel’ inyama
    Yintliziyo exhuma-xhuma kwisifuba esifumbeth’ uthando

    ithemba

    Ngumbulelo usakusindlekwa ngobubele
    Yintong’ asekhosi kwabathokombisileyo
    Yinkwenkwezi esemaNtla, isikhokelo kubahambi
    Lilitha elikukhanyisela sewukwabhadakazi
    Yingoma ezingileyo usawucand’ iintsunguzi
    Ngumthuthuzeli okumbhambhazela ngoyolo
    Ngumfudumezi kumaqhwa angenanceba
    Ngumondolozi usakufulathelwa zizihlobo
    Lilo ke elo ithemba lokwenene!
