Zexit : Zuma has Fallen

Zexit : Zuma has Fallen

February 15, 2018

Zuma Has Fallen

Zexit has hogged the headlines in Africa ever since power was pried from the clutches of President Robert Mugabe & President Zuma took centre stage.

Time might move slowly in Africa – But change can happen in the twinkling of an eye – Or at least as fast as Don Clarke can write a song.

Zuma Must Fall – (unt he did)

Is it just me, or can you also hear Doctor Scott from the Rocky Horror Picture Show nodding in approval at the end of that song that became the anthem for p*ssed off people in S.A? Don’s, Zuma Must Fall!

Let’s leave the political commentary to the analysts. We aren’t THAT kinda blog.

Nobody knows what the future holds. I hope it brings rain & rainbows from Cape to Cairo.

For now, though – We dance.

Maestro, please……

Zuma has Fallen – by Don Clarke

& just in case you missed the original – I have included it here. If you like it, please check out the rest of Don’s work on his youtube channel SHARKE123

Asimbonanga

After the dancing, we could far worse than to look back at where we came from, & consider where we want to be. Listening to the Drakendale Girls’ Choir singing Johnny Clegg & Juluka’s song reminds us that the future is for the young – But if sanity get’s here quick, we might get to share it with them for a bit

Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang’ uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph’ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph’ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)

Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the Island into the Bay
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the burning water

Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang’ uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph’ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph’ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)

A seagull wings across the sea
Broken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me

Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang’ uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph’ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph’ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)

Steve Biko

Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang ‘umfowethu thina (we have not seen our brother)
Laph’ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph’wafela khona (In the place where he died)

Hey wena (Hey you!)
Hey wena nawe (Hey you and you as well)
Siyofika nini la’ siyakhona (When will we arrive at our destination)
