[Phumla aka African Maiden! @khanyile_p]

Forgive us for our errors
We are more tainted by our own guilt
We obediently feasted in their lies
By our silence we became accomplices to their plots
We failed to thank you while still alive
As we echo your words
Amandlaaaaaaa!
Rest in peace Qhawekazi!

@HermamDube @CityTshwane Come the promised tommorrow and no water, the people will rise. The people have endured enough. Mark my words!

@LAWRENC25055815 @CityTshwane I am ready to go on the streets. I never believed in doing so but we are left with no choice.

@Naledi_123 @MaRadebeQueen @CityTshwane My feeling...there is no hope left. I feel defeated.

Imagine being turned to a slave in your own country....these are someone's children...some have been reported missing 💔

@Mmadikgosi_23 @MbuyiseniNdlozi The echoes of the cries in the clip wounded my soul...I am taken aback to a place not so good, a place of similar memories, a place of not yet Uhuru! Rest in Peace Anele. May you find justice.

Best way to wake up...is to wake up with a purpose.

@ramichuene you definitely have my vote #T-Gom-Nation!

If truly she was the 'Mother of the Nation' and we acknowledge...let 09 August be Winnie Madikizela Mandela Day not some fruit gardens...Let's go commemorate her legacy doing all we can for the betterment of all just like she did.

@CyrilRamaphosa @MYANC I rise!

[Phumla aka African Maiden! @khanyile_p]

@CyrilRamaphosa @MYANC And Brandfort could not contain nor confine her...she rose above the cage of confinement, pass their chains of isolation. Winnie won in the face of adversity, we are honoured to have her as a mother to the Nation.

@CyrilRamaphosa @MYANC As her daughter Zenani said, she truly kept the Mandela name alive.

[Phumla aka African Maiden! @khanyile_p]

@City_Press @Hlengi She continues to rise even in death!

[Phumla aka African Maiden! @khanyile_p]

@CyrilRamaphosa @MYANC We have a President in Ramaphosa! We judge a man by the quality of his utterances...he is not just reading a speech prepared, he relays a message heartfelt. Bua Ramaphosa, Bua!

@eNCA A call for women to pick up the spear just as Mama Winnie did! We are listening!

[Phumla aka African Maiden! @khanyile_p]

@CyrilRamaphosa @MYANC A call for women to pick up the spear...Thuma Mina my President! Amandlaaaa!

[Phumla aka African Maiden! @khanyile_p]

@eNCA Just you know...Winnie was not an ordinary someone. If at a funeral of a singer, they sing, wont they politic at that of a Politician?

[Phumla aka African Maiden! @khanyile_p]

Poem in portions...last bit

As we moarn the loss in black and tears
I can almost hear you say 'we've won'
Go celebrate without fear
You would have raised your fist to defile death
Stomping harder to conquer confines of the grave
