The events of our present times
Signs of our jubilant times
The imminent return of our Heroes
Dramatic events reached their symbolic climax
Wild excitement of our Masses
The apartheid pillars began to crumble
New hope began to appear in Horizon
Our masses appeared with Natural excitement
Their aspirations had been fulfilled
Tensions and conflict engulfed Zille’s of the day
Doubts and confusion undressed Shilowa’s and Lekota’s of our times
Bantus’ and Gatsha’s started to fumble like a lost ant in desert of no where
All cried fouls and undoubtful of their existence
These are signs of our times
Things happened in our midst

The Black, Green and Gold mamba raised its head in 1994.
It raised like a wildness thunder
In persuasion of our commitment to free our masses
Faced the challenges of releasing our masses from the chains of Bondage
Never forget our new Hope
Like that of exiles in land of Foreigners
Born out of years of perseverance
Born out of years of suffering and captivity Our sufferings brought happiness
Our masses knew loneliness and desolation
Griped by feelings of abandonment and emptiness
In prison and unable to voice their anger
Worn out with grief and anger
The Black Mamba rose and became a beacon of our Hope for our masses
Reading the signs of our times
The heroic ability of our Masses
Won us credibility and confidence
Going through the bitter valley of our Masses
Present opportunity to bear Witness
Endurance won our lives
Black present a unifying force to seize the moment
Green is the inspiration and reunifying force beyond all doubts
Gold is a tested progressive platform for radical change in our Country
The chosen cadres in the furnace of Humiliation
Suffering strengthened our commitment
Reputation purified  our Souls
Long queues fulfilled our fantasy
Overwhelming win is the ultimate end of our journey.
Elections are the signs of our times
A challenge to fast track implementation of change
Raise long lain to determine our future
Sight of Freedom looms on the Horizon
Victorious and Spiritual life is to be born in the Election battle lines
End result will bound our tongues to wag
Like an African Elephant in the Kalahari desert
Roar like an African Lion in the mountains of Kilimanjaro
In the land of Qamata, Unkulunkulu and Le Badimo
Freedom or Death ! Victory is certain
For these are the signs of our times
