The Red Blanket People, honored and bold,
With stories ancient, yet untold.
From Bantu lands, they rose to claim,
A heritage that bears their name.
The Khoi-Khoi danced upon this land,
With cattle, music, and open hand.
The San, with bows and whispered songs,
Lived in the earth where they belong.
That language, rich with clicks and sound,
In every single word, a rhythm found.
The Xhosa people, hearts so strong,
Carrying their legacy along.
Through valleys deep and mountains wide,
Their culture stands, a source of pride.
With red blankets wrapped, they walk the earth,
A people of ancient wisdom and worth.
