Bisho massacre

Thandiswa Zenzile

Imingcelele ukuya kwelo khaya.
Imingcelele kuphunywa mbombo zone.
Yimincili kuthatyathwa ilizwe
Kubuyiselwa kubaninilo.

Vityo ikhwelo lityala.
Makuyiwe, igwala kunina.
Zadibana izint’ ebezikade zozondana.
Itoyitoyi kuqala.

Ngumtyangapo itoyitoyi ukuya
eStadium siyokhupha
ihagu ehokweni.
NguMbo nomXesibe,
yinkungu nelanga.
Az’ ba uphi na ngoku?

Uzenzile izinto qiqisholondini.
Uwenzile amanyundululu.
Ubadubulisile abantu ngeKoevoet.
Ubenzakalisile abantu.
Ubakrazule imiphefumlo ngokubaxuthela isonka.
Hamba kwedini.
Hamb’ okwaluka.

Ndimbonile umama eluqengqa
ugodo ecaleni kwam.
Ndiyibonile intombazana ikrazukelwa
lithunga yimbumbulu.
Sibatsibile abantu asazi ukuba bafile.
Uphi wena ngoku?

(Le ntlekele ayiphelelanga.
What about T.R.C. hearings?
What did Gqozo say?
What became of Gqozo?
What about reparations for the deceased?
What are the Govt plans concerning it?
Don’t you think Gqozo has been cursed by the ancestors?
How is his physical appearance?
Don’t you think the blood of the deceased is haunting him?
Why has he resorted to church?
Does the bible soothe his conscience?
Has he not resorted to self-exile?
Could he stop the spirit and desire for liberation?
How do the followers of the A.N.C. feel now?
Who came out victorious?
Who is in power now?)
