Nonkosi, I see you don't have an attitude like the 15 yr old Whoopi(certainly does not carry Whoopi Goldberg's charecteristics).
"Vuma dlozi lami" #9 on the CD. That's my favourite one too. In this song, Leleti Khumalo(Mbongeni's wife-the playwright of Sarafina) is thanking her ancestors for bringing a man like Mbongeni into her life."Vuma dlozi lami" would be directly translated as my ancestors are agreeing for me to marry this man. When it goes "Wangitholela umendo mina" she means through him she got to be married, "Wangikhipha enhluphekweni" means he took her out of the squalor and poverty in the township. I would love to sing that song to my husband when I get married one day.

Why are you saying that?

I wasn't angry, I mean, I didn't reply you bad. I also put the smile at the end to make sure that you understand that my list was just en explain. Frequently the lists seem to be...ehm...I don't know...bad?! I mean, when you write a list you seem to be nervous but I'm not I'm sorry if you misunderstood me
However, you said a nice thing of Whoopi Goldberg, so I'm happy

Whoopi.....sorry man, my bad! Yeap Leleti Khumalo is indeed Mbongeni Ngema's wife. She was very young(13 or 14 yrs old) in the movie Sarafina and that's when he met her. Leleti herself is a very talented young woman from Durban.

"Whoopi.....sorry man, my bad!"



Are you sure that she was so young?? She seemed to be 17 years old in "Sarafina!"... However, have you ever seen her in another movie? I would like to see her again, playing another role.

Talking this is for whoopi

this song is the one sung by the kids marching in the streets with torches after Crocodile is mauled by Sabela's dog.

you can wound us
but you can't stop us
we are coming (nkonyane kandaba)
you can kill us
but we will live again
we are coming (nkonyane kandaba)
sharpen your spears
the war is at your door
we are coming (nkonyane kandaba)

i wish i had the zulu lyrics in writing for you and for me both but i hope i helped and didn't just give you info you already had.
