  2. I think Siyahamba and Babethandaza relates to praying and following the example of their ancestors. It's important to know where one came from so they don't forget who they are.

  4. They want to remember where they came from. History is important because we can learn from our mistakes as a people and make sure not to repeat them. We can move forward a lot faster if we know where we've already been.

  5. I believe that it means the Africans are praying and marching for their own freedom. It is significant because they remember who they are and where they are from.
