Poem by Z.M.J. Vukani
Khanyolwethu, Strand, Western Cape, South Africa
Z.M.J.Vukani is in class 11C in Khanyolwethu, Strand. His poem, which is quite a strong warning to the youth of today who take individuality and independence to extremes, was inspired by the recent Teachers Conference held at Stellenbosch in September 2000. Mhlobo Jadezweni, lecturer at Stellenbosch University sent this poem to Isikhundla on Vukanis behalf. This is indeed quite a powerful poem advocating good values.
uzenzilakakhalelwa
Iwu-u-u!!
Mamelani maXhosasemaXhoseni,
Thulani nizolokweegusha,
Bekaniindlebe zintombi nani boonyana,
Ewe yithani cwaka,
Kubuza kuthethumzukulwana wamaXhego,
Akazukubethebuyelelokwezulu laseMthatha.
Ewe kambe uZenzilakakhalelwa,
Atsho wonamaXhosa
AthuZenzilakakhalelwa,
Lutsha lwakowethu bekaniindlebe,
Musanukuphazanyiswa yimpucuko
Kuba yona yeyaseNtshona.
Ewe ndiyavuma,
Ningandivi kakubi
Andithi ndiyacula, andilociko
Koko ndithi ndiyavuma
Xa nisithi uBomi bobenu,
Ngoko ke ninelungelo lokuzikhethela,
Kodwa zimameleniingcebiso zabakhulu.
Ewe kambe kungconukuzikhalela
Kunokukhalelomnye umntu,
Kodwa ungajongiphambiluxelimeyile,
Zimameleniziyalo,
Mandulo phaya-a-a! ebengathethagqibelumntwana,
Bekuqala kugqibelumzali,
Ewe ke kambe nithi kwakukudala ngoko.
Iindidi zobufana zine
Likhoninqanaba lobukhwenkwe,
Apho ke lulonwabo, kuba wenza nje,
Likhonelobukhwetha,
Likhonelobukrwala
Xa usangenebudodeni,
Kodwelinzima lelokuthathumfazi
Apho ke kufunekindodiqiqe.
Ingaqhiyazi, ingangqiyazi
Kuba kaloku umfazi asiyondlwaniyanetha,
Gxebe, ukuthathumfazi asiyondlwaniyanetha,
KufunekindodivulamehlokwesikhoveGwadana,
Iindlebizinwebokomvundlubalekizinja,
Ingaqwalaseli phambilixelimeyilitsalumthwalo,
Ingathithathumfazi, kantizikhanda ngenyheketyeni.
Le ntumntu ngumntu ngezenzo,
Ungancamikhaya ngenxa yokuthandubuhle,
Kaloku isimilo asikokumila kakuhle,
Ungathathingcukeyombethufele lwegusha uyifakebuhlanti,
Kuba kaloku uya kububulaliigusha.
Kalokumntu ngumntu ngobuntu bakhe,
Ubuntu yeyona ntsika yomntu.
Ewe ke kambe ndiyazi,
Xa uya kuzingela
Awazukubuza kubambeyiphinyamakazi,
Usenokubambiqaqa, kantubufunimpunzi,
Uza kuba sathini ke uza kulilahla?
Ewe, mna ndingalilahla
Kuba liyanuka,
Andifunukunukiselabasekhayeni.
Ewe ke wena ungaxolelukulityelendle,
Uxolelukuhlalapho kuba inyamuyayithanda,
Suka litshonilanga kubalilindanga wena,
Uqale ngokuntanya-ntanyaze
Kuba kalokayikhindawo yokulala
Ucingemvekhaya,
Ulibalukubinyamubuyitya wedwa,
Ulibalukuba abazalububanyevulela.
Ewe ke kambe sonke siyavuma,
XathamaXhosuzenzilakakhalelwa,
Hayinkosikazi yam ayifunwekhaya,
Kuba kaloku nina ninamakhosikazi,
Hayi, abafazi baphela,
Xa besithabazali akanasimilo,
Uthi hayi abamfunumkam.
Sukamathunzanabulibele ngamapuco,
Uphangele kuphelizihlangu,
Imalungayiboniphelele phantsokwentuku,
Abesithunkosikazi ufuna le naleya-a!
Ziqale zibuyiingcinga,
Uthakwaba ndandazile,
Akwaba ndandimvilumama notata,
Libe lonilanga likutshonele,
Ndiyekeni ndithu vu-vuthe! Ndithi vovololo!!!
phezulu
