Ami Faku, Blaq Diamond - Imali Visual Story (Official Video)

[@amazingkidsswimmingclub4270]

As a Zimbabwean who has been living abroad for more than a decade and a half this song was written for me. For us. How long are we going to be economic slaves in our own motherland? This goes out to every Zimbabwean who has had to leave home and endure the worst of the worst in order to make a living and feed many mouths back home as an economic refugee. We have endured the most. Also to my Nigerian, Ghanaian, Congolese, Rwandese etc who have left home in search for greener pastures... Salute

I’m Gabonese and I love South Africa, you have been the leading exemple of Africa when it comes to fighting the oppression and for that you will forever have the respect of every other countries in the world. In my country the oppression is made by instrumented black government working for French Oppressors which means that I understand your struggle. We on this continent understand your struggles and we may not live the same difficulties at the same level or maybe do we. Kodwa South Africa WE STAND WITH YOU. Siyanithanda, sisonke siyazwelana buhlungu lani. Please qhubeka noku sebenza nokufunda, it’s the only option left for us poor people. Education is key , qina bafethu.

[@elykia1954]

@@bhekagasa434 No I've not. I've always loved South African film industry, so I watch a lot of soapies and movies. While watching one with the English subtitles I realised that I understood some words, as they are similar to my mothertongue, so I decided to pay more attention and learn. I memorized the language and some Google Trad is also helping :) My dream is that the whole Bantu youth realize how much we are similar, we share the same culture from Central Africa to the South !

[@bhekagasa434]

That's beautiful. We are truly descendents of Ntu hence we are Bantus'. I'v also seen Kenyans understanding some terms from my language. For instance "ulimi". But your articulation of Zulu is tremendous for someone who didn't grow up here.

This song just brought tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart. This is our reality but I have hope that one day things will change for the better but that will only happen if we unite and stop hating each other and competing with one another as a black nation. I wish more people listened to such music instead of the garbage played on Radio/TV. The world needs more artists who speak the truth and touch lives.

[@thaboshikwambane]

Lots of truth in your words MaMncube... I'm hopeful. There are pockets of unity and co-ordination. The plan to revive black consciousness and the black power movement is becoming very clear.. Ami Faku sounded like Samthing Soweto on one of her songs. It's beautiful and interesting to see that she's politically charged too.. aboMiriam Makeba, Brenda Fassie and Hugh Masekela were important in shaping societal focus - pre--94 most artists were woke. Glad to see that the wave is coming back.
