Mayibuye iAfrika

“Mayibuye is another South African song. It comes from the townships, locations, reservations, whichever, near the cities of South Africa. Where all the Black South Africans live, and it’s simply a plea to all Southern Africans, to come together, share their problems, try to solve them.

In the manner and fashion that our great forefathers and kings: Ngqika; Hintsa; Shaka; Dingane; Cetshwayo; Mzilikazi; Sobhuza; Moshoeshoe; Sekhukhune; Kgama; Luthuli; Lobengule, and all of them, would have been proud of.

And the words Mayibuye iAfrika simply mean, come back Africa.”
