Ungalihamba lonke izwekazi i-Afrika nokuhlukana kwalo ngezilimi, kodwa okufike kuhlanganise ama-Afrika umculo nesigqi sakhona esingefaniswe nalutho.
Okwenza leli zwekazi lihluke kwamanye indlela isigqi sakhona esihluke ngayo. Akukhathalekile ukuthi umculo ungolimi lwesiZulu, isiNdebele, isiShona, iSiswahili noma isiPutukezi, kodwa isigqi siyazisho ukuthi ngesase-Afrika okungenye yezinto ezibumba izizwe ngezizwe.
Omunye umculi osephumelele ukuhlanganisa izizwe ngomculo wakhe uCesária Évora. Wazalwa zingama-27 kuNcwaba we-1941 eCape Verde okuyisiqhingi esidume ngokukhiqiza abaculi abayibekile induku ebandla emhlabeni jikelele.
