I Am An African


I am an African
A soldier of my land
A defender of the earth
The heavens bellows as the
Showers quench the soil
But when it has been tamed
The fish eagle soars to the sky
My spirit runs free here
I am a A african born
A home to many people
Home to many atongue
The sweet scent of veld
Grass in the air

The tang of red soil in my tongue
The majesty of the stink wood
As it basks in thr African sun
Call me home
Call me Africa
Because I am an African

He could not bear Vusi being praised and respected much more than him. Jabulani decided to first use his own daughter to take away Vusi’s respect. Jabulani did not care about anyone. His daughter and wives were just a burden to him as they never gave him a male child and Nonhlanhla was still not married at twenty five. Jabulani forced her daughter to sleep with Vusi’s younger son Sanele. Then Jabulani asked Vusi to make do ceremony, thanking the ancestors for everything they have done for them.
