Dumelang!

We did not fight for Independence, we found comrades in strategic places.

Our path to revolution, was won

through collaboration and wit.

But our path to transformation,

it began one moody night in the

Valley of Stars.

We stumbled across a curious seed.

Luminous, impervious and perfect.

Knowing that nothing happens in

isolation;

we forged smart partnerships, found more

and planted them right back into our Land.

The diamonds took root.

And so our connections grew,

revealing new minerals and

possibilities.

And as our connections grew, we

branched out.

Markets bloomed, talents became

jobs,

jobs created markets and wealth

began to flow.

Ours, is a legacy of smart

partnerships.

Because when the right minds

meet, sparks fly

and ideas bare fruit;

Ore becomes jewellery,

Millet becomes beer,

Reeds become fashion,

Trash becomes treasure…

It’s up to us to connect the dots.

Motho ke motho ka batho,

Only together can we achieve truly

beautiful things.

Together we will outpace progress.
