The only country name with all five Vowels
A country with over 2000 miles of shore
The country with roads built by the neighbour
Country for also their use upto the Port.
Johannesburg to Maputo and one could also
Travel by road all the way to Malawi
Zambia, and even Congo.
Being in the city and in a premier institution
Technology as a focus in a training course
With added emphasis on teaching technology
A combination suited for the development
Skills among the youth and employability
Besides the empowerment that comes
For themselves and their families.
The Salesian approach to Youth and
Their welfare, time-tested and still in vogue
Across nations and around the globe.
A timely emphasis on the rolling out of
Globalised projects – from the sciences and
The Classical Arts and Social Sciences
With the onslaught of computers and
Digital Technologies, the race to accomplish
Be on the lead while even now,
Are countries that need to catch up
One wonders at the disparity of the
Colonial Project and its slow dissemination
In countries such as Mozambique.
All learned the tongue and have some
Education, along the way, and yet
Despite Independence and 50 years down
The street across the Main road is not paved
The disconnect between the haves and have-nots
Having widened, and social security
right to food and education for all
Needing attention, that there seems
Too few to engage with these concerns.
Do people grow in ways of their own
The whole night was music as it was weekend
A mode of transposing an entire neighbourhood
Into the surreal through the auditory sensations
The way music works into one’s system, and
Provides collective relaxation at the end of
a week-long work-a-day life.
Unimaginable in contexts otherwise developed.
