Siyakukhothamela, We bow down to you. Egameni
lokhokho – In the name of our
Ancestors. Ezinyembezini zakho – In your tears. Sibona
Uthingo lwenkosazana – We
see the rainbow, the bejewelled crown of our princess. Ons
sien die reënboog, die
juweelkroon van ons prinses –
Soliloquy – I look at you so you can see me. I speak to you
so you can hear us. I reach
Out to you so you can know them. I see you staring at me
but what do you see?
I am wind. I am air. I am here. I am Zulu – My name is Zola.
