I salute you single mothers

One day you will reap the rewards

Verse 3: Mandla:
Growing up in SA
People never the same
A lot of happiness but double the pain
They walk around with smiles that shield the shame
They all have one vision success and fame
But one common thing though
Their brains are chained their legs are lame
Their foresight is blurred by the smoke of the township
Inhale, exhale, pills and cancer sticks
But amongst all this
Great leaders are born
Those who hold their own
An example to all
It's to those we salute
It's to those we shout it out and let it echo through the youth

Thousand Ntwaizin:
uMandela ngiya'm landela
Ngeke ung' tjele
Ngiya mufela, ngiya muthemba
Ngibala engiku thandayo
Nale mpilo engi philayo yimi nayo
Abolova emakhoneni
Estamkokweni, emikhukhwini, mas'wineni
Zonke izitha zami
Nama critics wami salute

Repeat Chant
