I am an African, I embrace my roots,

I come from the Sotho tribe,

I am the great-granddaughter of this soil,

I am a South African, a poet, and also an author,

I am the next generation to uplift South Africa,

I was raised here in South Africa,

I am saying this is my country, this is my home.

One day I will visit a foreign country and so hopefully someone will come up to me and ask me about my lovely county,

I will tell them I’m from a country that is located in the Southern part of the African continent,

That country is known as South Africa,

Ke Afrika Borwa, YiNingizimu Afrika, Afrika Tshipembe, Suid Afrikaans,

I am an African and South African,

In my country we are speaking, re ya bua, reya bolela, siyathetha, siya khuluma,

I am an African, I embrace my roots!
