Akalaz'Ulwimi Lwenkobe Poem by Anele Potelwa (Unpublished)

Great poem my friend, its a pity we throw our cultures away and follow other peoples cultures. worse is what you are talking about in this fantastic poem of yours, new generations can't even read this poem because its written in venecular.We want them to study so we can prosper as a nation but that does not mean that, in trying to give them what we didn't have we must forget to give them what we had, the love of being Africans and being proud of it. The love of speaking our mother tongues and being proud of them, they don't even know our clan praises. Now if I say NginguZwide kaLanga, ikhasakhasa lakwaNtombazi, isandla sivik' umkhonto njengehawu, UZwide kaMaGqangqula owadl' umuntu wamshiy' isibindi, uZwide wakwaNonkokhela bantu behlatshwa njengezinkomo Entsheni yakithi kuvele kudume upotiyane, abazali bayasibulala isizwe. Ndiyabulela nto kaPotelwa ngalenkondlo ezoyizayo.

Anele, if I knew your native language!
