Uhayi - Vavasati Festival

UHAYI unqandabalwayo ,when we were kids whenever one would be angry and speak out against any dissatisfaction one would be silenced by these words ‘Hayi’ but in this sense one would not be fighting but speaking out about what ever bothered them . In response the one who is being reprimanded would respond in saying ‘UHayi unqandabalwayo’ in saying this you would be saying that you are not fighting but saying your truth. This was a way of silencing us
