As a South African living in Canada, this makes my heart sing for both my beloved homes❤🇿🇦❤🇨🇦❤
I appreciate all of them so much
Could you please tell me what song they are singing? Its really cool. Thanks!
It's a war-cry. We sing them for many different occasions, sad/difficult times, celebratory times etc.
Do you know the song by any chance 😂? It's fire🔥. Also doesn't make any sense for me to say this rn but u guys have the coolest flag
@@sinotandopuzi5752 but do you know the NAME of the song please?
Fighting fires in rough country is hard and sometimes dangerous work. I salute these brave firefighters who are helping out Canada.❤
Thank you South Africans, you are Beautiful ❤!
@marinerstribble sorry just curious what do you mean by rough country.
HalleluYah 🙌🏽
@StarZ ART She meant uneven mountainous terrain that all firefighters will have to navigate, because some areas may be hard to reach. There was no malice in what she said 🫶🙏
That’s the spirit of South Africa that the world doesn’t see.
Amazing! Welcome to Canada and thank you all for coming! You are all heroes.
What's happening in Canada
@@Richesfam almost our entire country is on fire.
Don't forget these are not municipal fire crews these are forestry firefighters. Give credit where it's truly due. These guys truly do work hard. Two totally different jobs.
@@Richesfam living under a rock? Multiple forest fires totalling around 8.1 million acres. Which is just at beginning of forest fire season. That figure is also higher then the amount of forest fires over the last 10 years I do believe.
@@corykroes7784 Omg ! 😲
Thank you for coming and putting your lives on the line for Canada! We appreciate you more than you And your families know.
Such goodwill brought tears of emotion. Thank you South African firefighters!
So much tears, it's amazing!
I’m a firefighter in Kelowna and they are still singing every morning! Always the best part of my day❤
We sing and dance for all occassions in south africa
I am so proud to be South African , and so proud of this brave group. Well done!
Can you please translate this song for me? 🙏🏾❤️
You should be proud. The South African firefighters were not only of great help, but also a bright ray of sunlight when it was dark at noon. Thank you and lots of love from Canada. ❤🍁😊
Bless you all and stay safe. Deepest gratitude for helping Canadian firefighters battle our fires.
Thank you so much South Africans, and ALL nations helping Canada through these fires. We're known for helping many nations..what goes around comes around 🙏

What a beautiful celebration of song, the music, the universal language, for the world . To the firefighters , Canada is grateful !!!!!!
Canada is blessed to have these brave men helping with our fires. ❤❤❤❤
There are women as well.
@@janicelaurence6965 Janice don’t be a Karen you know what he was trying to say
@@b_sav ??? That's not even close to what being a Karen means.
@@getlonely She literally is one I can tell when someone is a Karen 1000% of the time lol
If only you paid them the fair wage, they only get half of what Canadian firefighters make while doing the same work and taking the same risk.
Beautiful! Thank you South African firefighters! ❤ 🇨🇦
This is so awesome! Not only did they come to help, they sound amazing!
Fecking beautiful. These brave men and women are heroes
Heros? They haven't even done anything yet
@@MelvinJ64 Well they're not boarding the plane again right after this dance. Smartass lol.

Thank you for coming to my Province of Alberta to help fight fires. We appreciate you.
African voices are truly beautiful ♥️
Any translations please ?This is so beautiful
😂😂😂 OK Karen
@@That90sShow How is this a karen move? I don't think you understand how to use that word.
@@That90sShowwow
I used to use the name Karen in a negative way, until I worked with
a lady named Karen. She was the nicest, sweetest lady. After that I never used that name negatively again. I feel bad anytime someone does use it like that. It makes me feel like they're insulting the nice lady I knew.
@@That90sShowstop it
Thank you for coming! Please, stay safe!
I love this!!!! So grateful for their help.
Wow, this is amazing. Thank you South Africa.
Thank you for all your help
If there's something that differentiates African folks is the way in which music just flows through them. I still am to find something rawer and purer and truer than African music
Thank you from Saskatchewan Canada!
Make me cry. We will remember you south Africa, next time when you need help count on canada 🇨🇦.
✊🏾💪🏾✊🏾❤️ be safe hope u all make it back to your families
