Joe Offer Origins: Senzenina (26) RE: Origins: Senzenina 23 Jun 20

I got a question today about this song, and I have no idea how to answer it. The person wanted to know what part of the song is Xhosa, and what part is Zulu. Now, I know that Xhosa is the language with the clicks in it, but that's all I know. Can somebody give us deeper information about this wonderful song?
The Wikipedia entry on this song is here (click).

It is such a wonderful song to sing in choral harmony.
