@Zizo007abl - you mean like South Africans lay claim on Shosholoza and Skokiaan as theirs when they are songs originally by Zimbabweans; the first by migrant Zimbabwean Ndebele workers and the second a Musarurwa composition. I even heard some touring SA musicians out here in the diaspora claim the marimba as theirs. If you want to go that way maybe we should call it as it is. We have never had that possessiveness about culture that we see in comments such as yours - it is a shared culture.
@Megadiva1999...I am a South African n i knw that very well. often when i refer to music being african i generalise becuase mostly african sounds are alike...with almost same rhythm etc and there should be no big deal in that SA is here in Africa...our music is alike man ... African Sound is mostly similar.
It is a big deal when you try to steal SA heritage and make it your own.
Music is part of the heritage, SA artists are part of the SA heritage which you are trying to steal.
Go find your own heritage which we dont care about. I am sick and tired of non SA blacks trying to steal SA history and heritage to make themselves feel better.
he went to exile to prepare to figth for freedom and he left his wife and kids back home. they used to write each other letters and somehow his wife stopped to write and he was wondering, just for him to go home after exile to find that she has passed away. n he is also saying he gonna miss her.
The beauty of African Music is that you don't have to understand the words to relate to it. This song makes me feel like Africa has really changed...the purity of our land that existed in the 80s when I grew up in Zamba is not there anymore...man, this song makes me wanna cry....
Damn....this is epic.

@zonakhathi
You cant say this is Zulu. I would say he mixes Xhosa and Zulu to get the effect that he wants, its done in music.
Caiphus sings in Sotho/Pedi and to some extent in Xhosa because his wife is Xhosa.
