»I am an African«

by Sinovuyo Mafanya, September 21, 2009

I am an African
A proud South African
Who was born in Africa
Living an Afrrican life as her roots are rooted in Africa

An african who is living in Africa, a democratic country of South Africa on the other side of Africa I mean the foot of Africa.

The black country full of Africans who live the life of Africa...
Especially the South Africans who are living the African democracy that Tata Madiba Rolihlahla Mandela fought for us to live as free as African South Africans.

The beautiful Africa that is made of smiling mountains, the laughing waterfalls, oh!
My Africa with the loving and beautiful animals that entice the tourists and make the Africans shine to the world
I am an african! Living in beautiful South Africa.
