Sithole Totem


Jobe !
Mondisa!
Phumela phandle ngoba kufudumele
Matshana!
Mhlakaza nhlansi zingamshisi
Ziyoshis’ abalondolozi

Maphitha!
Mthembu waseGubazi
AbaThembu bengabakwaMvelase
Ngqikazi zimnyama zingamankankazana
Nyama kaMaqoqo
Abayidla beyidonsisana

Nina bakaMgidi wekhohlwa
Nina bakaThakazelwayo
Nina bakaMqolo
Owadl’ omuny’ umqolo
Nina bakaDidiz’ umkhaba
Mkhomb’ olwadl’ eminy’ imikhombe
Lwandl’ oluhambezintabeni
Nina baseQhudeni

Jozana olubomvan’ olundakandakana
Qomond’ olumantinyane
Olubuk’ umuntu lumethembise
Sengathi luzomakkhel’ umuzi, kanti phinde!

Nina bethole intshwabadeyane
Mthiyane Sonomo
Nina bakaMkhwawozi
Owakhawuz’ Mdod’ akhawuleka
Nkomankoman’ ekhawuz’ abalondolozi
Nina bakaNyawo zimthende, zimthendelezi.

Ngweny’ edlel’ ohawini
Nina baseNyongweni
Chakijana kaGezindaka
Suka bekhuluma!
Bhande kaMtshiba
Mahamba!
Ngokuhamb’uyeSwazini!
Luhuluhulu!

Nyokeni!
Nina baseLangeni!
Nin’ enabulal’ abathakathi njengoShaka
Nadlula nawel’ uThukela
Nina bakwaMgwayiza oyinsimbi engagobi!
