Nangamso Ndikandika Poems
I am a big black woman
Crazy about life and all living
I’m loving and giving where possible
I was born on a beautiful Tuesday morning
...
The body of a woman
This is a beautiful sculpture perfected by God
Within it there many engines
...
I am a child of the soil
So highly privileged and wealthy
Of life experience and knowledge
Wealth is described as money
...
Sometimes I think I’m laughing at her
Only to find out I’m actually laughing with her and at myself
The sounds that vibrate as we express our joys
In laughter and melody
...
Will you ever forgive, me for missing your funeral?
You might have seen the pain I felt when I heard you passed
Every time I see your picture
My heart just pours out
...
Women take your place
For you are the necks of heads
The sea of fishes
And, the rays of the sun
...
Dear South African
I write this letter with a sad and broken heart
I tried to find answers from God
Guess you are the one who have them
...
I refuse to be a Slave
I refuse to be petrified and destroyed
By the shades of darkness
They find me at my weakest moments
...

The Best Poem Of Nangamso Ndikandika
Big Black Women
I am a big black woman
Crazy about life and all living
I’m loving and giving where possible
I was born on a beautiful Tuesday morning
Under the stars of Capricorn and Moon of Transkei
I’m just a normal person
Who’s expressive of her thoughts and emotions
I speak of peace love and integrity
You’d think I’m dancing when I walk
Coping the moves of the lion
I look up straight with no fear of the road ahead
For I am courage, hope and success
My life I compare with the river
For it peacefully moves with one objective
Of meeting the sea all in one
The mountain stands still and calm
Not shaken or moved by the rough sound of wind
I am a stranger to this movement
For it takes centuries to complete
I am a light and brown eyed girl
With a figure well described like that of the number 8
I am easy and a loving person
Though not easily understood
My beat can not be perfected
It’s that of an African instrument
Being it not Khora or Imbira
The beat that shakes and moves my soul
Is that, which moves the mountain
Complex I’m defined
Intimidating I’m described
I asked you once “who am I? “
Be ready to read the answer
I am the daughter of Africa
I am who I ought to be
I am the dream and hope of those who lived before me
I am thirsty of something I never drank
I crave for a sweet but bitter taste
I am greedy of knowledge and experience
I am a sister to him
He who is still to discover his true nature
I am a mother to a child not promised
A wife to husband not guaranteed
I am the backbone of a BEE partner
Providing stability and structure
I am courage, wisdom and success
I am an African child
