OUR MATRIARCH THE QUEEN!
OUR
MATRIARCH THE QUEEN!
She's the Firstborn of the Four Children born
to my Late Grandparents: Mzayifani and Nofayile Gutyungwa. She survived all Her
Three Young Brothers including my Father. Nombuyiselo
meaning The Restorer, is her name. She's our Prophet for Generations to come!
Nombuyiselo is
our Pride and Joy and the Age-Defying Matriarch of 102 Years Old! A Record for Gutyungwa
Family! She's the True Testament to Her Legendary Name. Her Classical Vintage
Heart has clocked well over 26,805,600 Hours of Non-Stop Heartbeats.
I feel very Proud and Honoured by God, for Blessing
me with such a Great and the Grandest Aunt: many others can only dream of and
wish for! I'm always in the Presence of Greatness every time I spent talking
with Matriarch Nombuyiselo! I feel like an Elephant Calf under the Shadow of
its Giant Mother! No fear.
Nombuyiselo is
the Sunrise of my Endless Horizon and a Tried Cadet to Mother Nature: surviving
Two World Wars makes Her a Warrior and a Veteran of Time and Physical
Endurance. My Aunt is the Athlete and the Olympian of Death Defiance: The Enigma
of All Climes!
Ironically, my late Father's Name,
Fuyizizwe means the Father of Nations: and yet, the man never lived up to it! Nombuyiselo
his Big Sister said: Do not fret my Younger Brother, I'll linger a little bit
longer and cover your back!
Our Matriarch
The Queen, She’s the Rod of Aaron which Budded: All the Lines in her Hands, are
the Stamps of Time and History Well-Travelled!
Our Matriarch The Queen has done more than
just providing her Priceless Shade for Family and immediate Extended Families:
She tied all the Three-fold Knots around Gutyungwa and Mndi Families! I am so
proud of Nombuyiselo, I want to cry!
Though now old
and decrepit in her advanced years: She’s still very much aware of her
surroundings. God locked Her clock inside her undying heart: no man can stop it
while it’s still running its course!
I have immortalized her sweet commanding
voice by keeping it in the Vaults of our Family History, for Future Generations
to hear her speak.
O’ how She
waited and prayed over the years and hoped that One Day, Fuyizizwe’s Sons will Remember
and come back home and Restore the Fallen Walls. Like the Prophetess Anna, who
waited for the Birth of Jesus in the Temple: my Aunt trusted God to see the
Rising of the Sun.
When the Sons of Fuyizizwe Shall Return to
their Roots and make her smile and Praise God like Anna in the Temple.
Well, some ten years
ago, her prayers were answered when I took my two Big Brothers to the Village
of our Origin: and Paid our long Overdue Homage to Our Matriarch The Queen.
Oh Lord, if I never live to see Happiness again this Side of Heaven; I’ve seen it in Nombuyiselo that Day! She Danced, She Preached, Sang, Prayed and Cried.
Though my Big Brothers have passed on, God has kept me to fulfil the Dream of Restoring the Fallen Walls of my Grandfather’s Holdings!
I remain Standing and Petitioned the LORD for
my soul to keep, help me build these Fallen Walls of my Grandfather’s Household:
just like the Prophet Nehemiah who Restored the Walls of Jerusalem.
Have Mercy Lord!
I need to hasten because when I looked over the Horizon, I could see Nombuyiselo’s
White Chariots drawn by White Stallions Approaching! My spirit has picked up
the Signal of Quickness and Readiness.
I stood up watching from this Watchtower of
Sunsets when suddenly, the Spirit Whispered: She’s Getting Ready Because She
knows Her Hour is at hand! Thank You LORD For Our Matriarch The Queen! These
Fallen Walls Shall Rise Up In Nombuyiselo’s Memorial!
