I Am An African. KwaXhosa ukwenda kweentombi yinto exatyisiweyo kakhulu, xa ithe yenzeka kubekho imibhiyozo eyonwatyelwa yilali yonke kwaneziyingqongileyo. Amabhinqa athi ke akwenda enzelwe amasiko ekhaya eli endela kulo. Elinye lalamasiko leli kuthiwa nguTsiki. UTsiki lisiko lokutyiswa kukamakoti inyama yebhokhwe namasi elikhaya. Ndatyiswa uTsiki ngoGcwanini. #happyafricanday
