The Rugby World Cup in South Africa brought something special to the forefront - "amagwijo." Gwijo is this amazing South African Xhosa tradition of singing together as a group, and it's all about call and response. It's like a musical conversation where one person says something, and the others respond, creating a beautiful dialogue using just their voices, kind of like an acapella group. These Gwijo songs have been a part of the amaXhosa culture for a long time, accompanying important moments in life like weddings, funerals, and initiations. What makes them so incredible is that they can express a whole range of emotions - from joy and determination to sadness and devastation. Moreover, when people perform iGwijo, it's not just singing; it's a way to celebrate, protest, resist, or reclaim something important. On today’s culture corner, we want to unpack amagwijo and its significance in South Africa. Exco Members of the Gwijo Squad Mhlangenkululeko Siwisa and Afika Selemani speak to Nhlanhla Sehume about the significance of amagwijo.
