Inkungu by Sabata Mofokeng This duet is inspired by the fear of the unknown, the grey area—a state of searching for something elusive, something that may never be found. It captures the feeling of being lost in the midst of it all, where everything seems to happen all at once, yet time slips away. Days, weeks, months, and seasons pass while you remain stagnant in this grey zone, unsure of where to go, which direction to take, or where to begin. You are aware that there is a thorn in your spirit—your fears and insecurities—that keeps you trapped in this state of inertia. You are filled with questions, wondering why you feel as though a part of your life has been lost, as if something is missing. Reflecting on the scripture that says God knew us while we were in our mother's womb and understands every part of us before we were born, one might ask: Does this mean that God foresaw the struggles and feelings I face now? "The person you are looking for is yourself. That which is internal cannot be found externally."
