1. Tshego Maimela, 2012
..."Imagine that!! Can't quite grasp the courage it took to sing this on his way to the gallows."

2. Emmanuel Matambo, 2013
"written by the legendary Vuyisile Mini, executed in 1964 by the apartheid government, this song should be immortalized."

"Nans'indod'emnyama Verwoed
Here comes a black man Verwoed

Bhasobha nans'indod'emnyama Verwoed
Be watchful here comes a black man Verwoed"

**
4. Tyrone Plint, 2013
"This is an old anti-apartheid song that warned the mastermind of the "apartheid mentality" - Prime Minister H.F. Verwvoed to be careful. The song warns him that when they get a hold of him, he will regret it. Ndodemnyama means beware or be careful and then they also add Afrikaans in by saying Pasop (be watchful) - Pasop Verwoed. This is one of the first resistance song created by Miriam Makeba against the whole Apartheid philosophy"
-snip-
Vuyisile Mini is the composer of this song. Perhaps Tyrone Plint meant that this is one of the first resistance songs recorded by Miriam Makeba.

"Don't forget the creator of the song, Vuysille Mini, who was an anti-Apartheid activist. He was a Mandela of his time, and surely Mandela honored him as we honor Mandela. R.I.P Neslon Mandela, and R.I.P Vuysille Mini!"

7. Chief Ntuli, 2016
"Vuyisile Mini the 1st MK soldier to be hanged by apartheid government sang this song while he was on his way to be hanged."
