On A Nie Blankes Durban Beach Poem by Sarah Mkhonza
On A Nie Blankes Durban Beach
Rocks on this beach mean,
This is all the beach you
can get, you tainted ones.
White sands on the Blankes
beach. This one for Blacks
they call Umgababa.
No hotels, no flashy northern
lights, for the non fans
They can have a Black swim.
But not on white sands in
this Durban turf; never to
be a home turf even when here
at the rocky beach.
