The first time some one heard Loliwe by Zahara: first you didn’t know the language second you didn’t know if it was gospel and third you loved the song.
We asked a few people what loliwe means and some said Lord your Worthy Dudula.. Some said Lolwe wadi tutula… any way its not that.
We just had to work on that and we have combined a lyrics written and lyrics in a video of this amazing song by Zahara here it is :
