Re ba Mashile a Segodi sa Malekane
Mokibane wa monesa morale
Ngwana wa lepulana pula ga a tshabe
Ke matshaba tladi serutha ka mosela
Ntheng ya thaba magale a serorobele
Re Matshilwane a shibe
A shila naka la moshidi
Kamoso a shila tlhogo tsa batho
Rena ba maswika maramaga

At the beginning of this year I did not know sithakazelo sa Mashile. Imagine a whole poet who doesn’t know their own sereto? The power of what it does to people when their ancestral lineage is being called out in this part of the world is undeniable.

Watching people light up & channel different languages, songs & dances while dithakazelo are being invoked is a magical experience. It’s a wonder to behold, & a longing that was buried deep in my heart. My family was fractured by apartheid, misogyny, exile & returning home to SA.
