This word is apparently taken from one of the many African languages.
It was found in a video with subtitles, and in the subtitle the word was explicitly defined; however, I've done extensive searches and cannot locate the definition of the word OR confirm its authenticity.
If you know the definition of this word, please...
CITE YOUR SOURCE(S), i.e., dictionary, encyclopedia, lexicon (of indigenous language or general).
The word is: BHULU or "AMA BHULU".
Thanks!

And Josh still can't follow instructions.
BTW, Google is merely a search engine and not a dictionary, encyclopedia, lexicon, etc.

Porgie, thank you for laying the foundation for the origin for "amabhulu".
I located a document that uses the word in the context you've presented (http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/37a/023.html).
The video I mentioned above was one with President Mandela singing words to the effect that white people will be killed. Knowing what I do, albeit from writings and news coverage, of this great man I could not accept that he would utter such sentiments.
The words he sings as he stands alongside white people are from a freedom song, pre-Apartheid in origin, that says the boers (amabhulu) must be killed. For further information on the boers, for those who wish to do so, please research their history since space here will not allow a full and complete history.
A few people here in Yahoo! Answers have pointed to that video located on YouTube (via Google links).
Please take a moment when things of this sort are presented to research that material.
White racists are linking to that vid.
