Hellen Matsvisi, Hout Bay
Ubuntu is us Ubuntu is Hout Bay
In the midst of the pandemic
The pandemic that came from afar
Faraway faraway into our beloved
Country to leave us with nothing but tears but we say
Ubuntu is us Ubuntu is Hout Bay
Ubuntu is us Ubuntu is Hout Bay
Ubuntu is oneness Ubuntu is Hout Bay
With a piece of paper I write in tears saying Thank you, Siyabonga
Dankie Hout Bay for from the left I see Love, I see love through the trucks and cars flocking into our humble homes to give us a meal
A meal for my mother
A meal for my father
A meal for my brother
A meal for my sister
Ubuntu is us Ubuntu is Hout Bay
Ubuntu is us indeed I take this Time to say thank you, Thank you to all because even if it’s a time to stick at home
Because we don’t know what tomorrow holds but love has just pushed us and say just give
Ubuntu is us Ubuntu is Hout Bay
