MY NAME


“My name
Nomgqibelo Ncamsile Mqhibisa

Look what they’ve done to my name,
The wonderful name of my great grand mothers
Nomgqibelo Ncamsile Mqhibisa

The bereu-bereucrat was surprised’
What he heard was music to his ears,
“Wat is daai?Se^ nou weer?”
I am from chief Daluxolo Velay’godle of Emampondweni

Messiah please help me!
My name is so simple and yet so meaningful,
but to this man it is trash
He gives me a name convenient enough to answer his whim;
I end up being “Maria”

I, Nomgqibelo Ncamsile Mqhibisa!
END!!!”

I remember reading this poem in my high school days. It moved me, sadden me and angered me all at the same time.
