@1973mazdarx4coupe And by whose standards were all these nations "impoverished"?
Such a typically Western thing to say. "Without [insert European country here], so-and-so country would never have had roads/machines/proper clothes/etc.!"
Yeah well, so-and-so country would also have never had all their natural resources plundered, fatal foreign diseases like syphilis and influenza, been forced into various religious denominations, nor been treated as second-class citizens either.

The song is about the tok-tokkie, a beetle that makes a knocking sound to attract a mate.



Determined, committed & devoted to fight injustice, HEROES, like Miriam Makeba, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Mahatma Gandhi, never get silenced nor intimidated by injustice & sadistic governments. Celebrated & engraved in the hearts & minds of billions of people all over the universe, HEROES glow & shin for decades & centuries, reproducing millions of heroes of their kind.
Thanks for the sacrifices of Miriam Makeba, millions are free to live & celebrate life.
RIP!

I love this version of the song. Mama Afrika may have left us, but her music remains for all to appreciate. Thank you Miriam for blessing us with your beautiful music! Gone but never forgotten...
