This song reminds me of my last year at Wits University when we were told that we would not be funded by NSFAS which meant the gate for many of us, Blacks OF COURSE. The first time I confronted heavily armed police inside the campus, a police chopper hovering above. Iyaaaaaa, free education ne.
African child, your absolute freedom has not been achieved, such melodies serve as a reminder that our destination is still somewhere in the horizon. All we still need to do is soldier on,until full emancipation of our beloved motherland is in our own hands and we shape our destiny moving forward. ALUTA CONTINUA !!!!!!!!!!
Thinking about the status quo in South Africa and listening to this song brings tears to my eyes. Lives were lost and families were torn apart and now all that HARD WORK and SACRIFICE of those people is about to sold to the Indians. All By one man who doesn't seem to give a damn about our precious history and where we come from as a country.
I don't think there will EVER be a time I listen to this song without getting goosebumps! King Tha - you did the thing with this classic. Magic!! You are magic.
my pillar, my fortress, my string of hope. King Thandiswa gives me life. her voice, charisma, aura and everything she exudes in her music. I looove you.
Such a versatile artist!!! MaMiya is unmatched, her angelic voice and melody is at peak!!! Fees must Fall, for a brighter future of African child, surely the youth will overcome this status quo.
I get goosebumps listening to the song. I reminds me of the day before my mom died because it was the first time hearing it and I just went of an a nostalgic moment reminiscing of those apartheid days.
I'm so sorry to "discover" her so late in her Carrier - she seems to represent a New era in music. jazz Can now relax;-) so Can Gospel;-) she creamene something new
Jikijela means to throw and matye means stones (singular is itye)... Iinkomo zobuya nini means when will the cows come back.. And goes on to say the cows won't ever come back(I'm sure you get the pun) I'm sure I missed a lot but you get the gist
Kgotha Mab "throw stones, hit them with the stones" I'm assuming that stones were the only weapon they could use to defend themselves from the white police chasing them(black kids) back then.

My fist 💕... my people. Let’s not be apologetic for believing in ourselves 😍
This song is so spiritual. Good priceless Afro jazzy soulful music.
This rendition is so powerful and spiritual it never fails to draw and put me in the middle of the brokeness and injustice of the time.
I love her rendition of the Letta Mbulu classic, it sounds so soulful & hearty in this jazzy form she's given or rather emphasized for it!
my pillar, my fortress, my string of hope. King Thandiswa gives me life. her voice, charisma, aura and everything she exudes in her music. I looove you.
Tsheno Motlhankana you are absolutely right.

The Queen ♕ of jazz music very nice
This beautiful song is always on my mind and I don't even know what it means.
Jikijela means to throw and matye means stones (singular is itye)... Iinkomo zobuya nini means when will the cows come back.. And goes on to say the cows won't ever come back(I'm sure you get the pun) I'm sure I missed a lot but you get the gist
Anyone else listening during Lockdown
