This is not my poem. It is the title
of a song by a famous SA group (Juluka - fronted
by Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu).
Our captain Lucas should be familiar
with this song which became the 'anthem' of the
old SA Mainstay Cup competition. The title is
'Our football'. (Pronounced ee-ball-a leh-two).

Ibhola Lethu
Ikiti esandleni ma izibukeli zonke
ezakithi
Wonamhlanje sizoqeda zonke izinkulmo
Wezibukeli zonke ezakithi
Sibuza obani? Bengathinta ibhola lethu
Lapha sihlangana khona
Bazo khala abantu
Bazodela inkani
Ubani ongathinta thina
Sisho ngebhola webafana?
Singathi ukukhahela kancane, kuzojabula noma obani
Qina - Qinani wezinsizwa kushonompempe webakithi
Anogijima nebhola elihle, izibukeli zishaya amakhwela
