Analysis of Kwanomfundo
Njabulo Sikhakhane 1997 (Nkandla)
Iyalwa ihlomele
Kujikelani ezandawonye
Ziyacija imikhonto
Yokuqoba kwanompumelelo
Ezinye ziyawela
Ezinye ziyasala
Abaqobi bathweswa olwegwalagwala
Bahlobile ngemijiva
Bayagiya bayaqephuza
Ukuphuma kwempakama
Sekubonwa yibo
Isibani sesiyakhanya
Nakwantuthu bayalilizela
Kwazise ilapho
Ijula buchopho
Ezijula zijubalale ngolwazi
Kusindwe ngobethole
Ezicinjwe khona
Zibonakala ngemibala
