*SANDONGO FOR LWANJA WARD – 5 MINUTE AMAPIANO ANTHEM*
_English Version | Candle 🕯️ = Fresh Water, Fresh Light_
_112 BPM | Full Rally Mix with Sangonya Salt Water Issue_
---
*[0:00-0:20 INTRO – Atmospheric Pad + Log Drum]*
_(Vocal chop)_ “Lwanja… Lwanja Ward…”
_DJ Drop:_ “Yo! Sandongo! Independent! Candle season activated!”
_Spoken:_ “From Sangonya to Kobya… Lipumpu to Sitamu…
The salt is ending. The light is coming. This is Sandongo.”

*[0:20-0:50 HOOK / CHORUS 1 – Everybody]*
*Light up, light up – vote the candle!* _(Ayy! Ayy!)_
*Sandongo for Lwanja – we need that handle!*
*No more darkness, no more scandal,*
*13th August, we light the candle!*
*Pakani water, Libuyu school,*
*Nkuse kids need a better rule!*
*Youths want skills, women want grants,*
*Sandongo’s plan – Lwanja advance!*
_Log drum roll + “shuu shuu”_

*[0:50-1:40 VERSE 1 – The Problems*
Pulled up in _Pakani_, aunty said “we fetching water far”,
Got to _Sangonya_ – *borehole salty*, can’t even boil for tea in a jar!
*Salt water for bathing, salt water for cook,*
*Sandongo said “Enough!” – that’s the wrong water we took!*
Drove past _Libuyu_, children learning on the floor,
_Nkuse_ walking 10K, uniforms tired and torn.
_Supi_ youths pulled me: “Boss, we need skills not stress”,
_Katema_ women asked: “Where’s our 20%? We need access!”
_Sitamu_ farmers vexed – “FRA buying in the night”,
_Mutuwapafa_ said “we want lists posted, in plain sight!”
But hold on, hold on – candle burning bright,
Independent Sandongo – he’s ready to fight!
---
*[1:40-2:10 CHORUS 2 – Bigger]*
*Light up, light up – vote the candle!* _(Ayy! Ayy!)_
*Sandongo for Lwanja – we need that handle!*
*Sangonya fresh water, Pakani too,*
*Libuyu desks and Nkuse new school!*
*13th August, make it real,*
*Find the candle – that’s the deal!*
---
*[2:10-3:00 VERSE 2 – The Solutions*
First CDF cheque – water for _Pakani_ straight,
_Sangonya_ *new borehole* – hydrologist test the state!
*No more salt, we want it sweet,*
*Candle means clean water that you can drink and eat!*
Desks in _Libuyu_, classroom blocks for _Nkuse_,
Teachers with housing – that’s how we choose!
Youth desk in _Supi_ – carpentry, coding, farm,
Solar repair training – keeping Lwanja warm!
_Katema_ women grants – 20% in your hand,
Form your groups now – Sandongo has a plan!
_Sitamu_ FRA scale – public at the shed,
Every bag weighed open – no secrets, no dread!
_Mutuwapafa_ list on the wall – every name clear,
From _Sisokwe_ to _Kobya_ – CDF money here!
_Lipumpu_ market knows – candle shows the way,
*Transparency everyday – that’s how we’ll stay!*
---
*[3:00-3:40 BRIDGE – Call & Response + Dance Break]*
*MC*: When _Sangonya_ tastes salt, who we calling?
*Crowd*: SANDONGO! _(Hey! Hey!)_
*MC*: Who will drill fresh water, stop the stalling?
*Crowd*: SANDONGO! _(He’s the man!)_
*MC*: When _Pakani_ needs water, who brings light?

*Crowd*: SANDONGO! _(All night!)_
*MC*: Youths in _Supi_, women in _Katema_ – who’s got the plan?

*[3:40-4:20 VERSE 3 – The Pledge*
_(Beat drops lower, serious)_
Listen Lwanja – I live here, not Lusaka town,
After elections, I’m not falling down.
If I chop your CDF – you can lock me yourself,
Cause a candle that lies can’t give you no health.
Beneficiary list – posted every month,
FRA payments – same day, not next month.
_Sangonya_ sweet water – we’ll test and we’ll drill,
_Pakani_ running taps – that’s the first bill.
From _Libuyu_ to _Nkuse_,
