Kwanele By Masesebe Waa Ramahuma

Allow me to say this bitter word.
Hopefully it will help put an end to it.
Accept my anger as it comes in a form of a
word.
Allow me to persuade you that is time we
put a stop to it….

KWANELE, NDO NETA, Ke KWELE GO LEKANE
HLE!!!

Its about a pain planted in so deep.
Its about a pain that is from harmful seed…
Its about a pain, a societal illness that only
the ignorant want to keep.
Its about a pain that substitutes joy with
grief…..

Eish……
KWANELE, NDo NETA WEE, Ke KWELE GO
LEKANE HLE!!!

It pushes me to dream that one day women
will feel safe always.
It pushes me to think that one day all brutal
men will be taken away.
It pushed me to visualise future Mzansi with
love and ubutu always.
It pushed me to imagine a sosiety where
fears and sorrow were taken away…

Na sweswi naha valavuala….swaku….
KWANELE, NDIRI RO NETA WEE, RE KWELE

Why is the justice not fully avalabe to us
today?
Why be silent when i scream and cry in to
the night?
Why some perpetrators are on malls walking
without any pay?
Why the hell look and listen at me? Vele you
gat nothing to say right?
Why cant you just say

KWANELE…

When asked you to help me end this fears..
You were here to make me feel unsafe.
When I told you about my deepest fear..
You went on…..made me fell so unsafe…
