Isizathu sokukhala asisekho (the reason for weeping is gone)
Izinyembezi nobuhlungu buphelile (the tears and pain are over)
Uye wang'mela ebunzimeni (He stood by me in times of trouble)

Ngonyama (The Lion)
Mmeli Wami (my defender)
Uyewangmel'ebunzimeni (You have stood by me in times of trouble)

Isizathu sokukhala asisekho (the reason for weeping is gone)
Izinyembezi nobuhlungu buphelile (the tears and pain are over)
Uyewangmel'ebunzimeni (He stood by me in times of trouble)

"I got my Masters degree this year. Uye wang’mela ebunzimeni 🙏🏻"

"This song hits differently when you realize that God truly is our Redeemer (Mmeli Wam). When the world closes doors, He opens windows. Thank you, Spirit of Praise, for always bringing us closer to the throne of grace! 🙌🏾😭 This is a masterpiece.""

"Why are some people sitting down ? This is such a good song😭🔥🔥🔥"

"Nothando Hlophe to the world🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾 the backup singers killed it 💃🏽❤️"

"The wait is finally over🤭. Ohh we had fun on this day!🥳"

"Nothando Hlophe can do no wrong. She possesses that rare cultural gravitas to open ceremonies, to speak to us, to offer a word, and to inaugurate a harvest of benedictions. Hers is not merely a voice that sings, but one that summons, consecrates, and blesses. And yet, she carries that infectious Swati bonhomie, that playful exuberance that gets you out of your seat and onto your feet. She can summon the ancestors and get the whole room dancing in the same breath."

"Sometimes we forget who's fighting for us, who's standing with us where no one could, this song is the alarm of prayer, i am very touched deeply"

"What a hit🔥🔥🔥 Well done SOP fam and to the phenomenal Nothando Hlophe🔥🔥"
