One of two songs of tribute to Oliver Thambo Bongani wrote for an October 2015 "Melting Pot" festival with six competing composers. This is the chorus from one of them, which we will sing with the OAC youth choir. There is a mezzo-soprano solo opening.

Old man telling his grand children about apartheid. "Oliver Thambo went into exile and he came back alive..."
