Mama...
Gogo...
Tata...
Our
elders...
The
keepers
of
our
stories.
The
guardians
of
our
memories.
The
voices
our
families
still
trust.
You've
seen
what
many
have
only
heard
about.
You've
seen
what
was.
You've
seen
what
is.
Now
walk
with
us
once
more.
Verse 1
You
remember
the
days
of
apartheid.
The
pass
laws.
The
forced
removals.
The
long
walk
to
freedom.
You
buried
loved
ones.
You
raised
families
through
hardship.
You
believed
that
one
day
Every
child
would
live
with
dignity.
You
fought
for
hope.
You
voted
for
change.
You
carried
a
nation
on
your
shoulders.
Chorus
You've
seen
Apartheid..
what
was...
You've
seen
the
DA
government..
what
is...
Now
vote
for
what
can
be.
Honour
the
past.
Choose
the
future.
Your
wisdom
still
lights
the
way.
Your
voice
still
matters.
Your
vote
can
change
tomorrow.
Verse 2
Mama...
Look
around
our
communities.
Grandmothers
still
choose
Between
food,
Medicine,
And
electricity.
Long
clinic
queues.
Unsafe
streets.
Broken
roads.
Flooded
homes.
Young
people
still
searching
for
work.
Women
still
carrying
The
heaviest
burdens.
Is
this
the
freedom
You
dreamed
your
grandchildren
would
inherit?
Verse 3
Under
the
DA,
Our
townships
are
still
far
from
opportunity.
Under
the
DA,
Workers
still
travel
hours
To
earn
an
honest
living.
Under
the
DA,
Too
many
families
remain
On
the
edges
of
the
city.
Under
the
DA,
Too
many
communities
Still
live
with
the
legacy
Of
apartheid's
geography.
A
DA
city
where
distance
steals
time.
Where
rising
tariffs
steal
dignity.
Where
working
people
carry
the
cost.
Surely...
Freedom
must
mean
more
than
this.
Bridge
Mama...
Gogo...
Tata...
You
have
seen
two
South
Africas.
You
know
what
has
changed.
You
know
what
has
not.
That
is
why
your
wisdom
matters.
Speak
to
your
children.
Speak
to
your
grandchildren.
Speak
to
your
neighbours.
Speak
in
your
places
of
worship.
Speak
in
your
pensioners'
clubs.
Tell
them...
Don't
vote
DA
because
of
habit.
Don't
vote
DA
because
of
fear.
Vote
with
open
eyes.
Vote
with
wisdom.
Vote
for
the
future.
You've
seen
what
was...
under
Apartheid
You've
seen
what
is...
under
the
DEVIL'S
ALLIANCE
Now
vote
for
what
can
be.
For
safe
communities.
For
affordable
homes.
For
decent
public
transport.
For
clinics
that
care.
For
women
who
no
longer
carry
the
burden
alone.
For
workers
who
share
in
the
wealth
they
create.
For
young
people
with
hope.
For
communities
treated
with
dignity.
One
community.
One
united
vote.
One
better
future.
Because
your
greatest
legacy
Will
not
only
be
What
you
survived...
It
will
be
The
future
You
help
build.
Honour
the
past.
Choose
the
future.
You've
seen
what
was...
under
Apartheid
You've
seen
what
is...
under
the
DA
Now
vote
for
what
can
be.
A
City
that
is
DA
free
