Ingwe Bani by Ebony Sheikh

What kind of leopard has no spots? This song is based on an Ndebele saying about the need to have a cultural identity and background. People must not adopt other cultures and forget their roots, totems and history.

Verse 2
Let our people listen
Let's not throw away our traditions
Let our nation listen

Let's not throw away our traditions.

The elder should respect the young one
The young one should respect the elder.
The elder should respect the young one,
The young one should respect the elder.
Those traditions,

What type of leopard would that be?
