"Toyi-toyi" The Spirit Of The South Struggle Dance. AMANDLA!!! by sweetcheecks(f): 12:30am On Jul 06, 2013
A fitting dedication to uTata Nelson Rolihlahla ("the trouble maker) Mandela
Aah! Madiba!
Aah! Dalibhunga!
Viva the president of the people!
I salute you, tatomkhulu!
My blood!
Your legacy lives on!
A MANDLA! NGAWETHU!
BLACK POWER!

Aaah, Dalibhunga, Phila Ngonaphakade Kumkani!
( Long Live, the King of the Thembu's) Aaaaagraaaammm!

Stumbled upon a very rare original you tube video of South African youth of yester year doing "Toyi-toyi". One can feel the oneness, a thousand hearts beating as one, a rhythmic thump of their feet, an united determination, bravery and a "never die" conviction to confront their armed enemy and the willingness to die in the process rather than submit to an oppressive goverment.

Wow, I salute you our heros!
YOU DANCED AND SANG WHEN YOU WERE AT WAR, SAD, ANGRY AND WHEN YOU CELEBRATED.
NO ONE PROTEST LIKE AN OPPRESSED BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN. LONG LIVE SPIRIT OF "TOYI-TOYI"
Your act still bring goose bumps to this day,
Shows one never needs arms to fight but " One Spirit"
A thousand hearts beating as one, AMANDLA!

God Bless our land!
God Bless South Africa!

@ Naddy, oh year girl I love that song too. Always bring a tear or two to my eyes. It's a very sad song.

Got 2 versions for you and the one with Madiba dancing to it. Just Priceless smiley smiley smiley
