U are what U are - kla!

[Taken from the Poem "Kullid in Technicolor", courtesy of Ronald S Dyers, we present you a brief national panoramic view of who and where we are. Ed.]

I tell you today, if no one else is this today, I am a Coloured!

This is who I am – from Bonteheuwel to Springbok, van Buysdorp, deur Westernburg tot die laaste fisher town. From Eldos to Mitchells Plain, to the leveled plains of the Free State, tot waar die Heidedal. From Wentworth tot die Baai. Ek staan in die Poort van Eersterust, loop soos ‘n profeet in Nasaret en where ever I lay my head, that’s my Homestead. Ek is rusteloos in Rusteval, ek maak vuur in Houtbaai en soek my Toekomsrus all over die show. Ek’s beautiful in Beaufort-Wes se rustige Rustdene. Ek stel my saak in Stellenbosch, tot die klerke in Klerksdorp hoor offie Alabama kom offie. Kry my in Keimoes, sien my in Roodepan, meet my in Danville, orals park ek. Ek’s in Grassy Park, Reiger Park, Florian Park, Eden Park en ek brag in Brentpark. Tune jou, ek’s sommer die hele Woodlands vol. Die Kaapse Son slat my, maar hier sal en gaan ek wees soos ek wel wil wees in Bellville en Bronville, in Shauderville en in Nelsville. Ek bly hier soos ek bly in Blydeville. Ek is wat ek is, regdeur Mzansi.

For sho! I am a Kullid!
