One serious moment in "Cetshwayo and The Lion" is when the character of Cetshwayo reflects on the impact of colonization on his people. He laments, "They have taken our land and our resources, and now they seek to take our very identity" (Scene 3).

Another somber moment occurs when the character of Sidi, reflecting on her own vulnerability as a woman in a patriarchal society, says, "I am nothing but a pawn in their game, to be used and discarded at their whim" (Scene 2).

These moments highlight the underlying themes of power, oppression, and loss in the play.
