Die stem van Suid-Afrika / The Call of South Africa | 1957-1994

Die Stem van Suid-Afrika, also known as "The Call of South Africa" or simply "Die Stem" was the national anthem of South Africa during the apartheid era. There are two versions of the song, one in English and the other in Afrikaans, which were in use early on in the Union of South Africa alongside God Save the Queen and as the sole anthem after South Africa became a republic. It was the sole national anthem from 1957 to 1994, and shared co-national anthem status with "God Save the King/Queen" from 1938 to 1957. After the end of apartheid, it was retained as a co-national anthem along with "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" until 1997, when a new hybrid song incorporating elements of both songs was adopted as the country's new national anthem, which is still in use.

Such a moving national anthem! Among the best in the world. I can feel the love of South Africans for their country and culture.

Die Hymne eines großen, aber toten Landes... Alle Macht, jeder Einfluss ging nach 1990 verloren.
