Imbongi

An imbongi is a special kind of poet in South Africa. They are like wizards with words who use special songs and stories to tell important messages to the community. They are like the superheroes of language who use their power to inspire people to do good things, like stand up for what is right. When they perform, they don't just speak, they sing and dance too, using their whole bodies to express their ideas. People in the community look up to them with great respect because they have the power to make a difference in people's lives. It's a very special job that not everyone can do, but those who can are very important to their community.
