IMbongi UMhlangeni wakwaKhumalo

>>>>

UZulu eladum’obala


Lapho kungemunga, kungemtholo

UHlamvana bhul’umlilo eNdulinde

Ubaswe uMantshonga benoGqelebana

Inzima lemnyama

Engabunde bezingwe nezingonyama

Ibiqhutshwa uMseleku benoNongalaza

Bethi ifanele ukuyosikwa izihlangu

EMkhweyantaba

Bathi iyekeni

Ubumnyama bayo buyesabeka

Ifanele ukuyocela imvula

KuNkosinkulu

Unqabel’abantu ukudonsa

Umanz’aphum’ezimbotsheni zoMtshezi

Isiguqa esizifulele ngamahlamvu

AseNdodakusuka

Umsindo wobuntilingwe ngowani

Ubangwe ngabaseNtingweni

benabakwaKhinya

Bathi baxokozelela iNdlondlo yakokaTshana

Bathi Ndlondloni lena engabhuli amaphiko

Izindlondlo ziyabhula amaphiko

Ozingel’izwe laseNhlungwana ngobhumbuluzo

Amavaka aseNgwengweni nawaseNdlondlweni

Abaleka abhangalaza

Zingel’ugcine nganeno koThukela mtakaNdaba

Ngaphesheya kukhon’abamhlophe abelungu

USigwembe esal’ukulanyulwa ngabamhlophe

USinakanaka sezincwadi

ebezibhalwa uMalimade

Kwabamhloph’abelungu

Eziloba bezikaza kakhulu

IKhaba elimile lodwa ngaseNhlungwana

Amany’amakhaba emila izixexelegu

Thambekeka mfazi owaliwayo

Thambekeka wewuse iNtambanana

Nangezinyembezi

Mhla eyakudabula ngakwaNgxangaza

Abafazi bakwaNgxangaza

Bazakulal’ezibayeni njengamathole

Kazi amathole azakulalaphi

Uye wadabula kuMlaba

Obezalwa nguKhwani

Wafike wamnika

Inyanda yemikhonto

Wathi MtakaNdaba

Uz’ubahlabe nasemehlweni

INyathi kaNdaba

Empondo zimakhenkenene

Bayivimbele ngamaphanda emikhonto

Bethi uMhlathuze kayikuwuwela

Uthe esewuwela

Wasewuwela ngamakhanda amadoda

Washikizela umashikizel’omnyama

Edondolozela ngenhlendla yakhe ebimithatha

Impi yakhe eyakuyibuthisa eNdliwayini

Wazihlaba kanye namathole azo

Kwathiwa ziyeke lezo Mtaka Ndaba

Ngezikanyokokhulu,

NgezikaLangazana

Washikizela umashikizel’omnyama

Edondolozela ngenhlendla yakhe

Eyakushona ngesikhala

Eya ngoSikhonyana

Obezalwa nguNgqungqulu

Uyakuwukhokha umnyatheliso

Iqabi lakwabo elixube imibala

Udondolozela ngenhlendla

Ngoba umuzi wakhe kuseziNhlendleni

Uye wedlula kuMankayiyana

Obezalwa nguMenziwa

Uyakuwukhokha umnyatheliso

ISilo esimaDuna sakokaTshana

Esikhangel’abantu baduka nolwandle

Nanamuhla basadukile

Abafana ababili

Baphonseke kwesinezimvumu nezingwenya

UNdaba kazimudli zimbukani?

Zimbona ngoba ekhafulwe yiNdlovu

ISilo esimaDuna

Esimenyezwe nguMzwili

Ezalwa nguSiniswayo

Wathi ningayihlabi leyo Ndlovu

Ningayihlaba niyobe niyibangile

Iyakuvusa imilando emidala

Eyayenziwa ngoyihlo

Uhlohloloza ngeNdlovu enohlanya

INdlovu ethi imuka babeyixokozelela

Uzitho zimagwegwe

Ngokugwegwa abakayise

UJininindi omnyama

Ongabubende bezingwe nezingonyama

Ongangamabuya eziziba

Zolwandle noThukela

Usakha lukhalweni enhlanganisweni

Lapha kuhlangana khona imifula

Kanye neyabafo

Kanye neyabafokazana

UGaqa libomvu lawoBathoyile

Isibuko sikaMaphitha benoNzibe

Abebezibuka ngaso beya kwaNkosinkulu

Ohlathi limnyama

Limnyama konke nemizi yalo

Sath’ukuvuka sadl’amadoda

IZulu elidume phezulu eNdulinde

Lazithatha izihlangu zamadoda

Indaba yenziwe nguManqina

Obezalwa nguNkontshela

Nguyena othathe izinkomo zaseMangweni

Waye wayozithela ndawonye

NezaseMkhweyantaba

Ngoba ethathe uNxaba kamkhonto

Isiziba sikaHhamu benoZiwedu

Esibhukudise izihlangu zaseMkhweyantaba

Ilanga liyakushona

Abantu baseNtengweni

Ngiyabesaba ngibasolile

Bazibukule itshe

Itshe linemamba

Imamba yathi ukuvuka

Yangena ehlathini

Ihlathi linembube

Yamaphula uBusobengwe kaNongalaza
