“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.”
