The irony of the song is that Shumba is warning Batswana about their culture, that Tswana culture is dying out, and encourages cultural education in schools.
Dikgafela - Thanksgiving festival to the Ancestors for a bumper harvest Kgafela tsa ngwaga wa pula - Thanksgiving for the rainy season Totang 'Kgosi tsa Botswana banna (Give honor to the Chiefs of Botswana) Totang 'Kgosi tsa lefatshe banna (Respect the Chiefs of the land) Seepapitso, Kgari Sechele, Mmirwa Malema, aye Kgafela (here he names some of the Paramount tribal Chiefs, one of them is called Kgafela, so the word has double entendre) Segarona se monate x2 (our culture is beautiful/nice) N.B: the Dikgafela festival was held at a Kgotla (the village court) to bring some of the harvest to the Chief, feast was prepared for celebrating the harvest.
@@neopodile2467 I am not sure, but there are annual festivals such as "Dithubaruba" in Molepolole and "Domboshaba" in which different aspects of culture, including Dikgafela are exhibited and shown
I love there music I love Africa But what I miss is that i don't know the meaning but I really enjoyed every beat of your music I love Africa and also my country Nigeria ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He sings about "Dikgafela" a cultural event form the past when after harvesting, the villagers would bring the harvest to the chief, the food would be stored for draught and some feasted on during celebrations. He then warns Batswana of eroding culture and asks them to preserve culture. He goes further to encourage that cultural education be instilled early at primary school.
Also calling on traditional leaders (per their names) and teachers to urge youngersters to preserve culture and observe Setswana tradition customs.But the event is basically appreciating harvesting season and spreading the message of discipline & moral restoration amongst society
