Dear liberation
Africa mourns tonight.
A rock, a spear, a force.
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
Mother of a nation.
First lady of the black liberation struggle.
Stalwart!
Activist!
Fighter!
Dear liberation.
The queen of love is dead.
Pain, torture, humiliation, jail.
For liberation she paid dearly.
Freedom at all costs.
Full of love and goodwill.
Its hard to believe the great queen is dead.
Dear liberation
In our memory we shan't forget.
Her grace.
Her beauty.
Her peace.
Her love.
Her fight.
Her urgency.
Her vigilance.
Her ferocity.
Her resistance.
Her passion.
Dear liberation
She is me
She is you
She is man
She is woman
She is Africa
She is Nomzamo Madikizela
She is immortality
Dear liberation
You owe her.
You owe her love.
You owe her life.
You owe her time.
You owe her forgiveness.
You owe her peace.
Dear liberation
Never forget.
Her foundation was unshakable.
Mbokodo engayokwesuswa!
Wen’ ongagudluzwa ziphepho!
Maye! Mama wesizwe...
Qhawekazi!
Amandla!
