Likewise, when a king did well, the poet praised and praised everything that had happened. Kings loved poets because of their courage. Hence the author of this book titled his book 'Amandla Embongi', which is translated as 'the power of the poet'. The poems found in this book are modern poems which speak to the present time. The poet uses a poetic language to rebuke the society.
