Iimbongi zomthonyama zaapha<br />
eMpuma Kapa zithi zitsho<br />
wavokotheka kumnyhadala os-<br />
Rhini, zisebenzisa elo qonga<br />
kuphakamisa umgangatho wemiongo<br />
yesiXhosa. U-Thandeka<br />

ebilapho ibingawuvali umomo<br />
ngendlela ababonge ngayo<br />

aseMonti othi uye waqinisekisa<br />

wisiNgesi, ukuze iingcambu zayo<br />
ingalahleki.<br />
“Ndifuna ukwaziwa njengemongi<br />
yesiXhosa, yaye eyona<br />
jongo yam kukuba nendumasi<br />
kubongeni ngolwimi lwam,” uthilo<br />
okaVabaza. Lo kaVabaza<br />

“Abantu balwa ngenxa yezithembiso<br />
ezililize abazifumana kumasipala<br />

lokudibana neengqanga zoluncwadi<br />

Memela odyushe kwakuko ngoLwesithathu.<br />
“Into emangalisayo<br />
yeyokuba nabantu ebebengayiqondi<br />

Letters to the Editor<br />
Three years ago, on national Election Day, 27 April, the Congress of the People lost one of<br />
our loved ones when Gerald Yona was shot dead at his home in Motherwell. Since then, the<br />
Yona family, and we with them, have carried a heavy burden of grief on our hearts. Our souls<br />
have refused to be still. Our spirits have sunk under the unbearable weight of an unexpected<br />
shock.<br />
Silent tears of despair have watered our cheeks and our motherland. The mournful cries<br />
of the bereaved continue to echo within us within our innermost being. Three years have<br />
passed but nothing has happened to dull the pain.<br />
We have said our last farewells and turned back on a grave of a patriot. Health-giving water<br />
has washed clean the earth that will forever be the home of our comrade. Had he tired of<br />
bringing joy of our hearts with mercy tales and chance remarks and with that made us laugh,<br />
we would know that he was preparing himself for his eternal journey. Had illness laid him<br />
low during long, unending and unbearable days, we would have prepared ourselves for the<br />
funeral dirge, and the relief that the eternal cycle of birth and death and birth had freed him<br />
of ill health permanently. When he passed on, another great heart ceased to beat.<br />
While he lived, he refused to allow his people to be defined in any way other than the one<br />
they freely chose for themselves. He elected to oppose those who sought sections and personal<br />
benefits, by setting one against the other, the peoples of many colours and cultures<br />
that time had, in a tragic sequence, brought together as one family. While he lived, those who<br />
sought to destroy his soul failed.<br />
He went his way speaking quietly of hope, of human dignity, of the cruel errors of small-minded<br />
people, of the magnanimity of those who were treated as savages by those who claim to<br />
be civilised, of the inevitability of freedom. He worked quietly to persuade us to understand<br />
the errors of the small-minded people, teaching us to assert our own humanity by respecting<br />
the right of all our people to life, liberty and happiness.<br />
Gerald Yona is now resting in his house of wood, cold and still without a voice and we sat<br />
thank you for what you have being to us. We appeal to you that you bear with us that we<br />
might not have understood as well as we should have, how much what you thought and said<br />
and did gave meaning and direction to our own lives. The Congress of the People will forever<br />
remember you. Tell those who joined you, that whatever the problems, still we congress.<br />

TO A CHILD, ‘UBUNTU’<br />
MEANS A LOVING HOME<br />
Consider adoption as an option.<br />
If you consider that ubuntu means ‘I am what I am because of who<br />
we all are’, what do all the orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable<br />
children in South Africa say about us?<br />
Something very positive! But only if we take hands and spread the<br />
message that adoption is ubuntu in action. For there is no truer<br />
reflection of the spirit of ubuntu than a nation that takes care of its<br />
children.<br />
Start by learning the facts with Addoption, South Africa’s first<br />
national adoption resource centre.
