"Woza Mfana" translates to "come, boy" and was sung as a call to meeting. Our version is based off the "Power of One" soundtrack.

"One by One" is a song sung in Xhosa, one of the African languages of South Africa. It was written during the Apartheid era and expresses solidarity in the struggle against oppression. The lyrics translate as:
Hold on tight my people
Do not get weary, do not lose your strength
For you can see they wanted to finish us
But one by one they will not succeed
One by one we will win
We will win because we know who we are
Come and see the cowards!
They are running away, come and see
The color of my skin is dark, I am proud of it
The color of my skin is dark, I will die with it
Oh yes, it is beautiful
And we shall win, one by one
