    September 2019.
    Who is here in the wake of this recent Xenophobic attack in South Africa?
    Too bad Africans are killing themselves.
    Say no to Xenophobia.
    Long live Nigeria!
    Long live Africa!!
    Peace to the World.

    This song makes me emotional...the translation is perfect !!!
    Lyrics 👇
    Open the way
    Vul' indlela
    Open the path of MaMgbohzi
    Vul' indlela weMaMgobhozi
    Hey my son
    He unyana wam
    Helele is getting married today
    Helele uyashada namhlanje
    Open the way, Ma Nyawuza
    Vul'indlela wena MaNyawuza
    Be jealous
    Suba nomona
    My son took it
    Unyana wami uthathile
    I didn't know I was going to see the bride
    Bengingazi ngiyombon' umakoti

    Oldies are oldies indeed, much love from uganda. I don't need to understand the lyrics but just dance to the beat.
