Rolihlahla is a Xhosa word having the literal translation of "pulling the branch of a tree" but having the colloquially meaning of troublemaker.
Simultaneously this was also the first name given to Nelson Mandela.

Rolihlahla tells the story of branches on their mission to find the light, accompanied by many tiny noise particles. Zooming in, the trouble makers can be seen slowly building and undermining the more extensive structure, which will look bleak without them.
