A Proudly Mapareng Citizen

By Parizo Van Thulare 

The land of my great grandfathers ,
The city of beautiful daughters ,
Raised with love and care  by their hard working Mothers ,
Together they planted love ,
Lived so lovely as those birds from Alaska with blue feathers. 

Surrounded by the Smashing mountains of Drakensberg ,
Down to  Mohlatsengwane river ,
There lies the great view of a palace none like other,
My city is awesome.

A home of hustlers,
A city of fighters ,
We may all not be religious,
But we not the haters 
we are fabulous.

My city, my home
I am a proudly Mapareng citizen
