LUKA
As the ceremony started
A young girl recited, "
Receive my best greetings...
Welcome our dear delegates
from bajhoba Kingdoms.
I am Ziyanda ,
The grand daughter
of Yao appointed King
Twaib Mndala Chimbalanga
If I hear someone calling
" LUKA"
my mind thinks about the
League of the
United
Kingdoms of
Afrika.
I see the Kingdoms
which surround the lake Tanganyika.
Which is called in Kijhoba
" Kitanga Kye Nyika"
to mean the residence
of
an electric fish called
" Nyika"
I see the kingdoms :
1.Bavila ,
2.Batabwa
3.Babemba,
4.Bafipa,
5.Bagoma,
6.Baswima,
7. Babwali ,
8. Bamasanzi
9. Baholoholo,
10. Babuyu,
11.and Bajiji.
Yeah,
Millions of the Bajhoba who live
in the boundaries of lake Tanganyika
in Burundi ,Tanzania
DRCongo and Zambia.
I see the Yao Kingdom
Oh ! millions of Yao people in the boundaries
Of lake Nyasa in Malawi,
Mozambique and Tanzania.
The name Nyasa " or niassa"
means " a fruitful "
I am not a blind,
Yes ,
yes ,
yes !
I am so Kind.
My eyes see millions
of Yao people singing loud,
loudly in Zimbabwe and
Zambia.
I am so exciting today
As my eyes see some
Vira,
Bemba,
Fipa
Bwali,
Masanzi
and Yao delegates at Mahlabathini.
Yes,
Yes,
Yes
The representatives of the Kingdoms
that form the League of the United
Kingdoms of Afrika.
" Afrika
or
Arkebulan"
I pray to see peace
in these Kingdoms,
I like to see progress
of the citizens of these Kingdoms.
The scripture says,"
How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in Unity!"
Oh! Yes
The word " Unity"
may be a daily
cantique in the hearts of Wajhoba and
Wayao in the World.
I pray this coalition to bring
good fruits in the future.
As It is said"
Unity is Strength "
Only a person who don't understand
the meaning of" Unity"
that can underestimate
This historical meeting.
August 11th, 2024
This day will be
remembered
and celebrated
as the" Special meeting of Yao appointed
King with bajhoba delegates in Exile.
To close ," I love you all."
