    In memory of Kaunda Ntunja who died of Covid in 2020 at the age of 38. For those of you who don't know him, he was the one speaking when Mapimpi scored his try in the RWC 2019 final. SA Schools captain, Currie Cup winner with the Cheetahs, and an ambassador for SA rugby in the commentary box. Gone too soon.

    RIP Kaunda Ntunja, he also opened this clip when he was speaking for Siya Kolisi when he first became captain of the Springboks against Australia. What a legend. He will be missed.
    When Kaunda was commentating on the players, he would speak about the places that Siya Kolisi grew up, Makazole Mapimpi grew up, Lukhanyo Am because these guys only recently became national icons as a national team so when Kaunda says "Phakamane ..." he is talking about the places these guys grew up in. He is telling these communities to rise up "Phakama" means to rise or stand. Basically these communities must be proud of their guys who despite everything are much loved, well known and are amazing at what they do.

    I loved when Kaunda referred to Makazole Mapimpi as "iphimphi" which means cobra. He used to say "leli iphimphi linobungozi ne thyefu futhi liyakwazi ukuyibulala ingonyama"(hopefully i got the spelling right) and what that means is that "this cobra(makazole mapimpi) is dangerous/deadly and has got poison and it knows how to kill a lion" and he said that when Mapimpi scored a try against The Lions. Kaunda was pure poetic and how i wish everyone could understand what he was saying about Siya Kolisi's first game as a captain.

      They can although it isn't the same in a translation but it will still hold deep profundities the likes of which is only possible with Kaunda:
      "The day is 16th June, the year 1991. On this day in Zwide township outside Port Elizabeth, the Kolisi family welcome the birth of their son. This baby will not be raised by his father or his mother. This baby will be raised by his grandmother and he is given the name "Siyamthanda" which means "we love him". Because, despite being born into great difficulty and poverty, he was loved a lot. It is during his youth that Siya meets Eric Songwiqi. It is Mr Songwiqi who tells the 11 year old Siya: "Young boy, you will play rugby because in the near future you are going to play for the Springboks." It's his mentor who thrusts him into rugby, and as the English says goes, "the rest is history". And right now that time has come. Siya is the first black player in history to captain the national team, right here in our rainbow nation. Rise up Zwide! Rise up Motherwell! Rise up Walmer! Rise up Kwazakele and New Brighton! Because this boy is yours, representing all of us. Siya is our grandson, our son, our nephew, our younger brother. He is Nicholas's father, Rachel's husband. He is Gwayi, Gqwashu, Gxiya, our leader. A cement truck with no reverse gear! Let the teams battle each other!"

He was given the name Siyamthanda... because even though he was raised in poverty... he was loved very much. Growing up, he met Eric Songwiqi. His mentor told him that one day... he will play rugby for the Springboks. His mentor introduced him to rugby... and as the English say... the rest is history.
      The day has arrived. Siya is the first black captian... for the South African rugby team... in the new South Africa. Stand up Zwide! Stand up Motherwell! Stand up Walmer! Stand up Kwazakhele, Emagxaki... and New Brighton. This young man represents the Black nation. He represents us all. Siya is our son, our grandson, our nephew...Nicholas' father, Rachel's husband... uGqwashu, uGxiya He is our captain, our hero. A cement truck without a reverse gear. This is it. Today is the day.

    ‘Liqhashu!” Kaunda Ntunja roared when Makazole Mapimpi dotted the ball down behind England’s try line.
    - “Liqhashu - the sparkling wine’s cork popping.”
    “Ibubbly, shampompo, shampizi!”
