Inkululeku!
Freedom!
The word is beautiful,
the word is precious.
We have struggled against this political
system from the beginning,
we have nothing to be ashamed of.
Our
young people and our old have
died striving for a better world. Our struggle will be successful,
but it must never be forgotten. You must preserve our words,
carry them into the wider world, but preserve them too for our
posterity, that our children may never
forget what we struggled for,
what we lost, what we sought to gain.
Freedom. Inkululeko.
