Fekema - Ithuba

"iThuba" in isiXhosa is a deeply personal and emotional song about the struggles and hardships I have endured while searching for an opportunity in life. The word "ithuba" itself means "opportunity," and through this song, I express my journey of facing countless challenges and obstacles while holding on to the hope that one day, a door will open for me. The song captures the pain of missed chances, the frustrations of being overlooked, and the perseverance required to keep pushing forward despite all odds. It reflects the battles I fight every day—whether it’s against societal expectations, personal limitations, or the harsh realities of life—yet I continue to believe that, with just one chance, my life could change. Through its heartfelt lyrics, "iThuba" not only shares my struggles but also serves as a message of hope for anyone going through the same experience. It speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of hope in the face of adversity.
