    Ngu: Chumani Gocini  uBhejula isiduko

    Ngumntwana wenu mawethu.
    The imbongi is complaining about the lack of support among the people. He can’t see kindness, love and peace. He encouraging people to bring back what is lost, that is to look at each other as brothers and sisters.

    Konakele phi nto zakowethu?
    Kwaphelela phi na? kwaphelela phi na?
    besikade sibambisana ngoxolo nothando
    Sisakhana ngentlonipho nobubele
    kodwa ngoku siyaphalazana

    Sisithi umntu ngumntu ngabantu
    buyaphi ubuntu bethu?
    Siphathisana ngembeko sisithi hlonipha
    uyihlo nonyoko ukuze uphile ubomi obude
    Kodwa namhlanje siwele iinduli
    sacanda namathafa sawela into zasemzini

    Sasizibiza ngamaRharhabe, amaGcaleka,
    amaMfengu kunye nabaThembu

    kodwa sonke siphuma kwiNkosi uXhosa
    Masambeni nto zobawo sibuyeleni
    ekhaya kwaXhosa
    ukuze  kuphile iiNkosi neNkosazana zikaXhosa
    Kuphile iikumkani nekumkanikazi zikaPhalo
    masambeni sibuyeleni ekhaya eMbo
