This chapter examines the use of alliteration by some isiXhosa poets who pay tribute to Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela in their works. The poems considered are 'Unkosi Rholihlahla Nelson Mandela' by Yali-Manisi; 'Inkunzi yakuthi eQunu iphumile esikiti' by Xozwa; 'KuGqirha Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela' by Mtuze; 'Imbongi ikhahlela iinkosi zakwa Dalindyebo' and 'Izibongo zikaNelson Rholihlahla Mandela' by Sithole; and 'UMandela enkundleni' by Shasha. Alliteration will be discussed as it is revealed in the use of consonance and assonance in the above poems. The concept of alliteration will be defined as part of the introductory section of this discourse.
