Ngigayele Ngizothe

Ngembathis’ amaqabunga ngizothe, Ngibe mibalabala njengengwe yasemaqeleni, Ngikhonkosele kwabasaqub’ esibelethweni senzalabantu, Hleze bazothe lapho befika kowenhlupheko. Sondela salukaz’ esimabhadubhadu, Ngikhongozel’ ubuhlakani bendalo, Hleze kuqhans’ imithambo yenjulalwazi, Ngikhanyisel’ abamixhiliba ngamathamb’ engqondo

Ngikhanyisel’ abaminenke ngebang’ abasazolicathula, Ngikhuthaz’ asebagoq’ ngengunaphakade. Zululeka ngqondo yomkhovu waseNtshonalanga Ufun’ ikhambi lokwelaph’ ubuwula bezazi zaseNtshonalanga

Ezasephuc’ umnkantsha wesiko likaNomkhubulwane. Ngigayele ngizothe nyanga yezulu, Kuqhans’ imithambo yokuzazi Lapho ngincind’ odengezini lusentendeni yesandla. Sengophephela kuz’ izaqheqhe zaseSandlwana Ezagwaz’ amaNgisi ngensizi yosizi Kwaqhum’ isibeletho seNdlovukazi Iqhwakel’ esihlalweni sombuso oxegaxegayo, Uxegaxega ngokuqonel’ iziqhaza zakwethu. Siyadel’ leso sihlalo sobukhosi Okwaqhumela kus’ isibeletho seNdlovukazi Kwachithek’ uphoko kuvel’ iNgonyama yamaZulu. Sengiyozizekel’ amagwabab’ echobana Ezokuy’ esikhathini kweNdlovukazi singakafik’ isikhathi. Sabalalani ngemicabango mahlumel’ esizwe, Nithol’ ingonyuluka ngomthombo wenhlakanipho, Nithob’ amanxeb’ ezisulu zokungazi, Azaz’ ukuth’ azaz’ iziphukuphuku zamambuka, Azaz’ ukuth’ ukulahl’ ulimi lwazo kuwubunuku, Ubunuk’ obedlul’ iphunga leqaqa. Seziyosengwa yinkehl’ inkosi ngiqinisile, Izingane zakwethu zinyundela olukaPhunga noMageba Lapho ziqomisa ngolwamaNgisi. Salukazi sakwethu, khuz’ umhlola wezinkothangqoko!

Sekuyolamul’ ukuzigqaja kwamabhinc’ anjengathi, Sekuyoqhum’ imbewu yamathwasa, Amathwas’ angesab’ ukukhwifa ngolwawo bethefuya. IKHASI ELIKHOKHELWE Bongani Mavuso
