Composed upon Mandela Bridge, March 19, 2008
The world would agree that there isn’t anything more majestic
Even critics’ ramblings wouldn’t go far
A view so pure even in the polluted air,
Jozi, like a queen this beauty completes you
Even in the mornings traffic swells, hoots and echoes become your music
Where the Ponte, Sentech, and Hillbrow towers lie
Open these to the world as 2010 we approach
Show that your perfection is not only limited to Africa but to the world
Never before has a teenager of 14 years been so mature
Graced with an abundance of history, charm and culture
Jozi, you are so pleasant in the curves and meanders of your glory
Though a tear of crime and abuse runs down your cheek
You manage to hold this and not totally weep
Jozi, ooh so mighty in economy and potential
Show them that of wealth and wisdom you posses
Even critics’ ramblings wouldn’t go far
A view so pure even in the polluted air,
Jozi, like a queen this beauty completes you
Even in the mornings traffic swells, hoots and echoes become your music
Where the Ponte, Sentech, and Hillbrow towers lie
Open these to the world as 2010 we approach
Show that your perfection is not only limited to Africa but to the world
Never before has a teenager of 14 years been so mature
Graced with an abundance of history, charm and culture
Jozi, you are so pleasant in the curves and meanders of your glory
Though a tear of crime and abuse runs down your cheek
You manage to hold this and not totally weep
Jozi, ooh so mighty in economy and potential
Show them that of wealth and wisdom you posses
