Juluka

Juluka was a South African music band formed in 1969 by Johnny Clegg and Sipho Mchunu. Juluka means "sweat", and was the name of a bull owned by Mchunu.

Career

At the age of 14, Clegg met Zulu street musician Charlie Mzila, who taught him Zulu music and dancing over the following two years. In 1969 Clegg and Mchunu met in Johannesburg when the latter went there to find work. The 18-year-old Mchunu challenged the 16-year-old Clegg to a guitar contest, and the two became friends. Soon, they were performing together on the streets and in what few other unofficial venues a multi-racial band could safely play in under apartheid. They were forced to keep a low profile and their success came from word of mouth instead of through traditional publicity. Clegg himself was arrested and beaten up by the police on several occasions for his activities and also for the band's lyrics.

Work For All

by: Juluka

Keep the home fires burning
While Papa's earning the pittance he calls his pay
You've got to get up so early in the morning
To keep your job, let alone find one these days
Hear them sing in the streets now
Hear the sound of marching feet now
Chorus:
Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all -- we need to work to be
Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all -- there's a jobless army in the streets
Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all -- in a wage, a hidden war
Sifun'umsebenzi -- funumsebenzi
Papa sits alone in the kitchen
Thirty years a mining man
He still has to fight for the right to work
Whether times are good or bad
Hear them sing in the streets now
Hear the sound of marching feet now
Chorus
Sifun'umsebenzi -- wo thina sifun'umsebenzi
We need work for all
Hum o hum
Chorus
Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all --
we need to work to be
Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all --
so many mouths at home to feed
Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all --
in a wage a hidden war
Sifun'umsebenzi -- work for all --
oh a jobless army at my door
Sifun'umsebenzi -- funumsebenzi
wo thina sifun'umsebenzi
We need work for all
We want work for all
We need work to be
Give us work for all--
