[1989]
Lyrics by Mzwake Mbuli
Choral and Musical arrangement by Sello "Chicco" Twala

This song features the voice and poetry of poet Mzwake Mbuli.
Mbuli's career began in the 1980s, performing poetry at Trade Union events as part of the fight against the Apartheid government in South Africa. He was repeatedly detained by the authorities. Mbuli's poetry focuses on social and political issues. His first album Change is Pain (1986) was banned, as the government feared its 'influence on revolutionary groups'. Mbuli continued to perform his poetry at great risk, becoming a popular hero in the movement for justice. In March 1999 Mbuli was convicted for an armed robbery he consistently denied committing. Throughout his seven-year imprisonment he protested his innocence. He retained the support of the people, as his albums continued to sell. He was released in November 2003 and continues to voice the people's concerns, from HIV and AIDS to political violence and corruption..
