South African word which means uncle
The word has evolved with the times
Some could say it has lost its meaning,
Malume was a respected individual
Who represented the whole family, he’ll be that dude
Everybody comes to for advice,
The guy who would negotiate a lobola
When mochana (Nephews/Niece ) get married.
Believe me family gatherings you can’t miss him.
He would be a focal point of every event, when he’s not
It won’t the same.
Few individuals who made wrong choices with their lives,
Gave the name Malume a bad name.
Modern usage the name could be used to show respect.
Is popular among, Taxi drivers, car washers, friends, classmates, and colleague e.tc.
Get the picture.lol
