Here is Zahara's 'Umthwalo Wami' in less lachrymose conditions
Here she performs "Impilo Inzima, ifuna abomeleleyo"= "[LIFE IS NOT FOR SISSIES]"...the track is in her latest album:
Even other musical greats in South Africa...hear the Vuka Vuka exhortations at the end of the next video ("Vuka" is the Zulu Language for "Wake up [from your dreaming]")...do dream of Young Woman Zahara's stature. Here is South African musical giant D J Sbu dreaming too:
Even Robbie Wessels, speaking in his own native Afrikaans, makes no bones about dying to PERFORM WITH ZAHARA. Try your Afrikaans-listening skills on his performance over and above his later confessions on Zahara on the following vid

THE GOLD OF ZION IN ZAHARA’S VOICE
Miss Mkutukane got herself a very prospicient musical name in "Zahara". IF you click this link she gives to Malawians her own explanation on how she arrived to the name "Zahara" for her musical persona, but Blog Author will hazard what I think about the said name (I mean, Arabs are Johnnies-come-lately on the planet in comparison to Africans!)
Now allow me to expatiate on Gold/Zahara/Dhabu as there is world-wide no country more gifted than original Zion (of Africa). It seems in fact to Blog Author that the same biblical (if Zionist) message has been given us through the voice of the 25-year-old Zahara.
Please hear
her sing again and then wait for Blog Author’s own personal interpretation of her
divine message.
There is a
mountain of gold… a chain of mountains in fact from South Africa till around
Zambia and Tanzania…temporarily too subterranean to mine.
The day of
mining will will give the world its probable greatest ever mining effort.
I believe
Zahara is singing exactly about that expedition.
In her song
she seems to me at least to be saying that human effort (I suspect it will be
global since I do not see current borders lasting into the 22nd
Century) SHALL UNITE THE SPIRITUAL WITH THE MATERIAL.
She seems
to be saying that if that globally-life-changing event will unite spirituality
with materialism: “Why not start right away and put your spiritual life to
priority and thus to order?”
ZAHARA’S GREAT PEOPLE: SOUTH AFRICA’S ISIXHOSA-LANGUAGE-SPEAKING PEOPLES
There is no
people Blog Author has so far studied more than Zahara’s Xhosa-speaking peoples
of South Africa.
It is so because I crossed paths with just too many queer Xhosas not to visit the library to find out about this people with an absorbing history.
You may want to know that they are among the founders of guerrilla warfare…they together with the Zulus up north from where they live in the Eastern Cape Provice of South Africa.
You may want to know that while they were honing up their guerrilla tactics which ended up showing all signs to defeat British Colonialism in Zion here, the smart British hit them back most spiritually. This will be the story of Nonqause, a Xhosa prophetess whom British military intelligence officers duped into thinking she was talking to God when in fact the army men were masquerading! SHE AND THE BRITISH WHO HAD DUPED HER SUCCEEDED TO WIPE OUT THE ENTIRERTY OF XHOSA MILITARY MIGHT MEANT TO DEFEND ZION/AZANIA.
Then the militarily-smart British…one must give credit where it is due for they are devilishly too smart for non-thinkers…came up with a plan to totally destroy the great AmaXhosa nation’s military genius. They went right as early as the 19th century to their greatest national rival, the AbaThembu or Thembu people…this is the ethnicity where Nelson Mandela originates…and they gave support to such in order to vanquish to ‘forever’ destroy Xhosa-Language genius (the Thembu People were already a subject people to the Xhosa people to the extent that even today Year 2013 they think they are Xhosa when in fact they are not).
I believe you will never understand South Africa until you give yourself time to know a thing or two about Xhosa-speakers. I love this people because they hold a great secret not only for South Africa but for the entire sub-continent. The example I have immediately is Zahara’s message in the song: “Loliwe”
Let me break down for you ‘Loliwe’ belted by Xhosa-Language-singing Zahara, a musical goddess and prophetess for me, and maybe you will feel what I feel emotionally about a most wonderful people: AmaXhosa.
MUSICAL GODDESS ZAHARA LAYS DOWN THE LAW FOR ZION
South African music lovers buy Zahara’s music in droves but I hazard to
think only a tiny few understand her prophetic message for Africa.
I mean, I do not remember seeing a South African musical giant (or
‘giantess’ to be more gender-sensitive) who reached on Youtube hits 1467527
which was her reading as I wrote this blog post.
Question is: DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS 25-YEAR IS SINGING ABOUT? DO
YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT SHE IS HAVING A MESSAGE FAR BEYOND HER LYRICS?
Blog Author thinks she does! I
think Zahara is a really ‘bad’ girl! My
reading of the lyrics is that they are all of them crystalizzed in her lyrical
‘Nangu esiza!’ which suggests what she inspirationally sees as coming for the
future of our piece of the earth as South Africans and neighbours.
‘Nangu esiza!’ is the IsiXhosa Language for ‘Here he/she comes!’
(word-for-word ‘Here-she/he-is Coming’)
I think her inspiration came from the future of this African region
(South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia,
Tanzania and possibly including the Democratic Republic of the Congo-DRC).
I should be mentioning this (if I have not already done so in my
writing) there is a subterranean chain of golden mountains connecting this
subcontinent and mother of all human beings.
Zahara says in her message that Uloliwe (the Xhosa, Swazi, Zulu, Ndebe
languages word for ‘Railway’) is coming in full force back to our subcontinent
in ancient times known as Zn, Zion or Azania.
Now, for Blog Author Uloliwe/Railway prophetically refers to the
infrastructure an the technologies that needs must accompany the mining of all
that gold and other mineral resources lying deep in the bowels of our earth.
I should (if I have not already done so) mention that my reading of
Zahara’s message is that UMA UFUNA UKUYA KHONA THANDAZA (‘if you are desirous
of partaking of that promised future for Zion/Azania/Southern Africa make sure
you get your spiritual health in order’:::IN OTHER WORDS, DO NOT BE HATEFUL,
GREEDY, LAZY, SLOVENLY, SELFISH, RACIST AND ALL THE DEMONS THAT CURRENTLY [PARTICULARLY
FROM BLOG-AUGHTOR’S FELLOW SO-CALLED BLACK FOLKS] DWELL IN THE CRADLE OF
HUMANKIND, SOUTH AFRICA!)
Uloliwe wayidudula!
TECHNOLOGY SHALL RULE!
TECHNOLOGY SHALL RULE!
Nangu esiza!
THIS IS UNSTOPPABLE!
THIS IS UNSTOPPABLE!
Sula ezo nyembezi Mntakwethu
FORGET YOUR VANITY, AFRICA
FORGET YOUR VANITY, AFRICA
Nangu esiza!
THIS IS UNSTOPPABLE!
THIS IS UNSTOPPABLE!
Phezulu eNkosini
SPIRITUALITY IS YOUR ONLY SURVIVAL
SPIRITUALITY IS YOUR ONLY SURVIVAL
Kuhlala izingcwele zodwa
KNOW THE RULES OF SPIRITUALITY
KNOW THE RULES OF SPIRITUALITY
Uma ufuna ukuya khona, thandaza!
NO WAY TO SUCCEED FOR AN UNSPIRITUAL ONE!
NO WAY TO SUCCEED FOR AN UNSPIRITUAL ONE!
