The song "In praise of brotherly Love" composed by Dr SJ Khosa (1936-2013) is based on Psalm 133.
It is in the spirit of encouraging unity and harmonious working together that Shalathi pens the song to symbolize the fluid relationship he had with his brother-by-choice, Dr Reuel Jethro Khoza. In simple terms, chosen brotherhood is highlighted as even more impactful compared to brotherhood by blood. Being related or being brother by birth or blood connections does not spare you from putting some work to bringing the fruits of your relations to life and recognising that we are a closely knit community wherein any elder is your parent, any peer is your sibling and any child is your son/daughter. I am because you are,,,,gives us a life that will never end.PSALM 133
1 How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God's people to live together in harmony!
2 It is like the precious anointing oil running down from Aaron's head and beard, down to the collar of his robes.
3 It is like the dew on Mount Hermon, falling on the hills of Zion. That is where the Lord has promised his blessing - life that never ends.
