ANDILE : (With a powerful tone) Angel of Afrika!
Woman of the original land! You are always
despised, my lady. You are hated for no
apparent reason, my beloved sister.
You are deprived of your rights, the right to
work. As a result of that you have no choice
cling on loony bin of a man. Afrika spits on
your feet for choosing boys over books, the
same books they didn’t want you to have
woman’s place is at home. Afrika… and it’s
men… and life have abused you, and no one
is willing to hear your side of the story.
KITSO : (Shows anger) Darling angel… Afrika has hit
you with poverty, it’s men left you with
broken hearts. Afrika took it’s frustrations
of colonialization out on you… and it’s men
have shown their true colours. Afrika has
proved itself that it sees you as an object…
and it’s men use the culture of Afrika as an
excuse to abuse you. Afrika is confused
about your place in the society… this day
you are the important aunt at the funeral…
the next you have a god in your home… the
other you are a special being because the
they see their baas pampering their wives.
And it’s men take advantage of that.
NSIKA : But baby girl, you are so much more. You’re
an angel of Afrika. You come from the
original land, and you have bestowed the
power to multiply the original land. You are
the beauty of the sunny place. Your black
skin illuminates the Dark continent. You
bear fruits and take care of them, despite
the presence of hunger and the absence
of the father. You are hated yes… but know
that despised people are persons with
potential. You are beautiful… no one tells
you that you are… but remember… true
beauty is the attractiveness of the heart.
JASON : Mama Afrika… I like to encourage you to
be the woman you always destined to be.
Breastfeed that child while on a CEO seat.
Fight for the right to work while
accommodating that child in your belly.
Don’t be ashamed when you leave the door
of prostitution to sit behind a counter.
Don’t be discouraged about that rape
incidence, cause fate has chosen you to tell
the most powerful stories of all times.
SUNIL : My beloved… you are beautiful, but not
but not beautiful than other girls. You are
are an epitome of Africa… you have a
big package, but doesn’t warrant you the
right to change men. A feminist is a woman
that fights for the rights she so deserve, not
a woman who hates men and intends to
dominates over them. Look… you are an
angel, an angel of Afrika. And an angel is
a good person. So don’t let that past haunt
you. It’s okay to be iron maiden, the world
needs a strong woman like you, but
remember children need love.
ALL : (Resonant) From us to you… we need you!
And we love you! Angel of Afrika…
