    The imbongi is giving the pandemic the name which is strange. The name which is more than HIV/Aids and other diseases or illnesses. The direct translation is “grudging the people” Hail! Grudger of people. Masivukeni!

    Maxhalanga ndikhahlele kuni,
    Zidwesha zezwe lakowethu ndidlul’is’iizandl’entloko kuni
    Zinxiba mhlaka nani nifundisiweyo
    Zithwala ndwe nani nivelelwe,
    Ndithi kubi kuxakaxa kuyinkxukuxaka,
    Ngenxa yesi silo singena ntloko namsila.
    Silondin’esingaziwa siqu esihamba ngomoya..

    Ah! Zond’uluntu! Zonduluntu!
    Izolo nezol’elinye ububabazwa phesheya kweelwandle
    Kwasa , kwasa kwathiwa naku sele uwelile
    Waza kuthi gaxa kwelakowethu eAfrika,
    Kunamhlanje ngezwi nje lomlomo
    Sonke sinezigquma buso
    Sonke sihlamb’izandla siqab’izintantazi.

    Ah! Zonduluntu! Zonduluntu
    Nyokandin’ehamb’irhubuluza
    Yarhubuluza nakwi thaf’elimnyama
    Iphuma kumathaf’emiban’ekhanyay’igqugqisa
    Ugqogq’egqugqis’esakh’umkhosi weenkedama
    Ntw’inye ome ngayo, ucoceko uyachasela
    Uye kutshonela kwelo lingaziwayo

    Zondulunt’ungumbulali!
    Suke wodlula iingculazi nomalal’veva,

    Hamba khorona siyakuchila siyakuvuthulula
    Sipheth’umhlonyan’ilamoni, orenji nejayina
    Tsi!indlw’emnyama izakoyisa ndiyakufungisa,
    Gxebe neziny’izizwe zase luhlangeni zinathi
    Ukulwanawe sipheth’amagqirh’amakholwa namagqwirha.
    Ndiyekeni ndime ndingathethi. Kalokumna mbongi ndibekelwe oko

    Mbarhaaaaaaaaaaaa!!1
