Amandla

Amandla is a word from isiXhosa and isiZulu, two South African languages, meaning "power" or "energy." It is often used in contexts that emphasize strength, resilience, and the collective force of a community or movement. Historically, "Amandla" became associated with the anti-apartheid struggle, symbolizing resistance and the people's power to change unjust systems. The phrase "Amandla! Awethu!" translates to "Power! It is ours!" and reflects the empowerment and unity of people striving for social justice and freedom.
