“…Copo Kalvocoressi Montgomery,
Lucky M. Bulayani will tell you that as a writer and an orator, for him to
achieve anything noble, anything enduring, it must be by giving himself
absolutely to his material. And this gift of sympathy is his great gift; just
as it is Onalethuso Petruss Buyile Mambo
de Poet Ntema’s great gift; it is the gift of those who pursue their
virtues before they pursue the opinions of society. It is the fine resilience
(and focus) in them that alone can make their work grand. If we have the same
approach to life as young kinfolks, as entrepreneurs, as scientists, then we
cannot fail my brother. That is the survival mechanisms that can sustain us all,”
– Thabo Prince Katlholo.
“Life knows no other than life in
its realistic sense, and whatever one strikes to pursue, it is either you make
it or not. But whether you make it or not, it is upon such a soul to create,
initiate, meditate or brave, elevate or grave, celebrate or crave, etc. it
takes more than a corn to fill up the basket. As always said, life is a
spiritual journey irrespective of one’s religious affirmations. Even the toad
does none other than live. Or will thou go ask lions when they meet in their
desert or rain?” –
Onalethuso Petruss Buyile ‘Mambo de Poet’
Ntema.
“Art thou the poet and writer I
know? Art thou word that troubles poetry frequent a times! How can I do without
Buyile! Only to submerge my person into trembles like a leaf in a harmattan
season.” – Copo Kalvocoressi Montgomery.
“….And who that man is? He that
stands (taller) than seen, and stretch a little further when the going runs
rough… Or will thou (art) go ask the creator? From whence we come and so grow. Life and
existence unto us He (has long) granted without born. Who? Unto whom need we repel
or attract? Are we not human? Why do we say and tell the way we do? Why do we
say in broken voices? Do we surrender (un)to will-power and crawl? Are we not human? In what circumstances do we
become human, and what don’t we? Or will thou walk talk the poet inside yours
and mine to reveal the unknown? What don’t we know? What do we know? Such words we share as the
natural other redeems a distant heart; to keep going without fall, and rise
again, if and when we let be…” – Onalethuso
