"gatwe mosadi otshwara thipa kabogale'(loosely translated, a woman holds a knife on the sharp edge), but why do we still see tears in her eyes? y do we only hear the echo of her cries, the shadow of her wounds and the leftovers of the sililuquays of her heart? y do we not see the memories of her plight because every weekend her children take flight in drunken orgies and sleepless nights. Gallavanting konageng, he/she returns jampas makseni, filthy, hungry, smelling funny, pinpoint its a brewery. U strike a woman, you strike a rock. I take a pledge today, I busisiwe, child of Mavuso. To be a woman of content, be a woman of magnitude and immense strength. I pledge to gently saunter into their minds, make them see the errors, make them see the filth that is etched in their minds, today i will make them understand why i cry for them. I pledge to show the stranger y my heart breaks for her, i pledge to show the stranger y my soul bleeds for her, i will look at her and see the pain in her smile, see the many sleepless nights by the bags under her eyes. Today, i pledge to make this stranger my soul sista. There is a new battle that were fighting. The abuse, the stupid man, the slick, hip swaying, finga snapping dumb chick whoz tryin to get rich by standing in darkened alleys and turning dirty tricks. The hate, the poverty, the insanity, the rage, the anger, the uncontrollable sadness of seeing your first born son in jail or worse still, your last born daughter sleeping her way to an AIDS infected grave. But i still remain positive, a visionary and i say MORE FAYA TO THE BRATHAS WHO LOVE, RESPECT AND HONOUR THE SISTA! but most importantly, i say MORE FAYA TO THE SISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
