Zwane!
Linda Mkhonto
Umafa avuke!
Zikode kaPhikela
UZwane akadlelanga phansi
Wadlela emkhombeni Wezinyamazane
Edla im’hlambi yezinkomo zamadoda
Ndlangashushwana ngokudla amaNdebele
Bathi uZwane udleni kwaMtambo?
Kuthiwa udle izinjana zimbili
Zigcwele umdakana!
Ntshosho!
Wena Kamafu kawalingani- angaphansi naphezulu
Ngoba aphezulu angubo ngubo!
Ntsele kaLinda kaMkhonto!
Awungilinde Ngilande Ezami
Mthanti!Nduna ngokuthwal’ isila sensele!
UNtsele kangakanani,
Ngoba nasothini lomkhont’ angahlala.
Nin’ enadlel’ encazeni!
Nin’ eniphakel’ umyeni odengeleni,
Ngoba ningabenkosi.
Zikode kaNdabansele
Mabhayi kawalingani awangaphansi nawangaphezulu

Zinkomo zakwaLinda ezimhlane ugcwele udaka, ezathi zidl’ubhoqo kanti ziyawuhlakulela
