This long poem laments yet celebrates those who died during the struggle. Serote has a strong awareness of Africa, and his thinking about South Africa invariably opens up to involve all of Africa.

The poet's quest for the meaning of freedom is fascinating to follow, especially in the lines addressed to Oliver Tambo: "what is freedom Africa . . . free me from hate though my heart aches."

Serote has a strong notion of Africa, and his thinking about South Africa invariably opens up to involve all of Africa. His cyclical patterns of lines, repetitions and rhythms move one along from one set of notions over to and into the next. The authority of the seer ("i walk this land and this earth") is carried with assurance throughout this noble new work.
