    She and Chicco Sello Twala were always teaching us to love ourselves and embrace our cultures through music. But this generation is lost. Pursuing everything not theirs.

    I was barely aware of Xhosa's existence thanks to some polyglot acquaintances, but _man_ I had _no_ idea what a beautiful language it is! Thank you Trevor Noah for introducing me to Miriam Makeba and thank you Bandile Dlabantu for the transcription and translation.
    Honestly, thank you from the bottom of my heart

    I think the song is about the Anglo-Boer war, in other words the two warring monitor lizards are the English and the Dutch/Afrikaaners. And the Khoi man is the native i.e. black man, who is caught in the middle.
