“Thina Sizwe” - South African anti apartheid song

Thina sizwe is one of those songs without known composers. Singing this song is thus an invitation to the wandering spiritual inhabitants of the unknown graves to come to Sasa. For this song the shared and unresolved grievance that holds the collective together is land expropriation by the “white people.” Thina sizwe names the protagonist as the Black nation and the antagonists as White people who took Black people’s land. Like Nans’ indod’ emnyama, Thina sizwe draws the boundaries between the protagonists and the antagonists. While Nans’ indod’ emnyama warned the apartheid regime of an imminent attack by the Black man, Thina sizwe simply demands that land be returned.

Lyrics

Thina sizwe esimnyama
Sikhalela izwe lethu
Elathathwa ngamabhulu
Thina sizwe esimnyama
Siyakhala izwe lethu
Elathathwa ngamabhulu
Sithi mabawuyek'umhlaba wethu
Sithi mabawuyek'umhlaba wethu
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Sithi mabawuyek'umhlaba wethu
Sithi mabawuyek'umhlaba wethu
Thina sizwe esimnyama
Sikhalela izwe lethu
Elathathwa ngamabhulu

Sadly some things have never changed.The rich get richer and the poor continue to live in sub economic conditions.In shacks with 5 or 6 to a room
One fawcet for 50 residents no electricity.etc
Maybe some forms of Communism might be preferable.
Nkosi sikelele Abantu bonke.capitalists- dedani nina nonke !
A luta continua.

Just like Mandela said, why would I leave prison without my people FREE?

"We said come in and sit down. You came in and said get out" - Makeba.
And we said NO!
We still say NO!

[jacobzaranyika]

What would I do with $90M without my FREEDOM?

[jacobzaranyika]

After what they ALL watched my son go through, they think I am suddenly going to think - oh, maybe I was wrong.

We know those tactics from HISTORY!

[jacobzaranyika]

And now, everything has once again changed
First is lets meet and you played arrogant games and I took that away.
Now I want more and will once again no longer give in on that!
