    The original song is a cry by black South Africans asking why are they being killed by white people. Asking what have they done (Senzeni na) my mom used to sing this song at home and you would be emotional.

    I first learnt this song many years ago outside the South African House in London during the bad days of a cruel system that operated in SA. People did do things to bring light in the darkness, In London a brave and determined group of comrades held a 24-hour 365 365-day ongoing picket outside the embassy of South Africa. I hope that one day there will be no need for protests and we all live as one. Sometimes you can be carried by the music that is born out of oppression yjay you do not need to know all the words, When the soul hears the body follows and so does the mind. I do miss all my Comrades today.

    This reminds me of the apartheid days - we would sing this song in the burial of those who died at the hands of police. Our old church walls know this song very well. Today it's a memory of an unanswered question. Without doubt, Faith in God kept this nation sane through it all.
