- As part of the Freedom Day celebration yesterday, here's PJ Powers taking us back to 1995 when she and Ladysmith Black Mambazo made this special song a big hit worldwide. It also featured in the movie hit Invictus.
Still gives me GOOSEBUMPS!!!...PJ You are INCREDIBLE!!! Hats off to the Awesome 🕺 🕺..❤❤❤❤
Goosebumps and pride, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2023🎉❤
Oh yes!! And hopefully bodes well for September this year. Go Bokke! 🏉💪🏻🇿🇦
@@cletotirabassi South Africa THE ABSOLUTE BEST COUNTRY IN Africa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@deanabiepepler Without a doubt!
Still have tears. 2024.
The greatest ever version of World In Union and probably the greatest Rugby World Cup ever.
Fully agree! No one does it like PJ Powers.
Agreed 100%. RIP Jonah Lomu!
The world needs this song in so many ways right now. ❤
So true! ❤️
Makes you proud to be SOUTH AFRICAN
It does indeed!!
Don't forget the VuVuZelas too, haha!
Just got in tears listening to it as 2023 WORLD CUP about to kick off😢 RIP Legends of the Game Lomu n Joost
Indeed!
Well said
This song transports me to the deepest level of love and pride for my country South Africa. ❤. There is no place like Mzansi. ❤
Indeed! ❤
2023 and we won and I’m here listening to our Rugby hall of fame anthem 🇿🇦✊🏾
What a tournament! So proud of our Boys!
I LIVE IN ITALIA.. WHEN WE WON THE RUGBY WORLD CUP,THERE IS NO OTHER SONG IN THE PLANET THAT IS MORE FITYING FOR SOUTH AFRICAN SPORT'S WHEN THE TEAM'S WIN A CUP THAN THIS ONE, (AND SHOSHOLOZA)
One of our best artist and one of the best in the World. No artist has performed this song like South Africa's PJ Powers. You go girl.
Couldn't agree more Louis! She sings with tremendous passion.
Agreed, not forgetting Lady Smith black mambazo who added flavour to it as well, together they definitely made it stand out from all the other artists who have sang it🙏🏾
I get goosebumps AND FEEL PRIDE everytime i hear this song from PJ..
Sidnay Sithole Agree! It’s timeless!
this song is the true Ubuntu of our lives how wish this day can come back
this song you can hear every meaning to the heart with full of tears
I so wish the same, Mohammed. Thank you for the kind comment :)
I will never forget that night in1995. So soon after the birth of the new South Africa. We went to the Cape Town Waterfront after the game. It was a miracle of joyful. united humanity! Still makes me cry. The world needs many moments like this today. To remind our hearts we are deeply connected . God help us
We sang this song in church, goosebumps it reminded me of the power of The one and only PJ Powers
It is a good song, but what does it have to do with worshipping Jesus? Haha
PJ Powers and Ladysmith black mabasa, sang this song better than any other artist ever will. They have put some African spice in it.Cant help but just love it.
I loved it when she sang with Stevie Kekana too
one of the best Sporting Anthems ever to be composed!!
And no one has ever delivered/ rendered the song like our South African PJ Powers. That voice has Power and Rock and it Rocks.
It was composed by Gustav Holst though haha
They don't make proudly South-African music like they used to! This makes my heart ache for my dear country.
Completely agree!
Greetings from Serbia Springbock fan♥️♥️♥️🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Thank you Lazar!
@@cletotirabassi you are welcome , springbocks winners 2023 RWC

Seeing the reactions of Fan's after both the England vs Springboks and last week with "The Boks" against "Les Bleus" in France, when in each case, the ever resilient Men in the cherished "Green and Gold", squeezed the narrowest of wins, I am reminded just how appropriate this Anthem really is..!!
Huge Kudo's to both opposing teams who fought so bravely, But Massive Cheers to our Beloved "Springboks", for their tenacious resilience..!!
To the rest of the world, remember , "Pasop Kerels, Hier Kom Die Bokke..."!!
Thanks for commenting, Peter! Yes, it took immense mental resolve to continue believing right up to the very last minute. I always felt the boys would squeeze the win out last night, but boy did they make us panic. Credit to France and England, but the Springboks are truly in a special league. Now the clash of the Titans next week. Vorentoe al die pad Bokke!!!!!! 🤞🏻💪🏻🇿🇦❤
I used to be a Grade R Teacher in SA and during our concert, this was our main song and theme: unity. I had 22 children from different races and cultural backgrounds and it was just the most beautiful scene seeing it all come together. Still brings happy tears to my eyes when I reminisce on it!! My children of 2016 really did a phenomenal job and were very curious about the topic ❤
I sincerely appreciate the special remarks. What you describe must've been a wondrous sight. Indeed, this is such a powerful and unifying song. It pulls at my heartstrings every single time I listen to it :)
No other version will ever compare to this one. EVER! #classic #proudlysouthafrican
+Farryn Grevler Definitely!
The Hayley W "Maori" version is amazing as well.
Sure so true
Absolutely , they are still using it to this day re Japan
This woman is absolutely incredible!!!! Only she can sing this song and thats HER POWER
She's legendary!
@@cletotirabassi i just did a reel with this song and about her if you on Instagram I'm MelanieSchmiedeskamp30
@@melanieschmiedeskamp785 Excellent! Will take a look.
Come on Boys.. 1 last dance 28 October 2023... 63 millions South Africans cheering u on to Glory!
Indeed, let’s go! 💪🏻💪🏻
I still get goosebumps from this song
As do I! So inspirational :)
this sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it, I was there in 95 and watched the game with trepidation, it was fantastic.....
Agree! It still gives me goosebumps :)
I always miss home when I hear this!!! No place like South Africa
Solibamba lingashoni, and beat the drums when you come back home.
She's a prodigy never knew she sang this great her vocal range and depth is nuts the collaboration of her voice I'd amazing
Indeed!
PJ is a legend.
Indeed! ❤️
Music is indeed a love language and yes food for soul .
True!
Gustav Holst should be credited for the original melody. It is part of "Jupiter" which forms part of "The Planets" which he wrote. But, yes, this performance by PJ Powers and Ladysmith Black Mambazo was absolutely EPIC!
Of course! 😊👍🏻 Credit where it’s due for Gustav Holst. Some other examples come to mind where an original piece is wholly transformed. Like what Pet Shop Boys did with Elvis Presley’s “Always on my mind” and how UB 40 reworked Neil Diamond’s “Red red wine”.
this one is for the BOKKE!!!!bring it home..
YES!!!
They indeed brought it back home
this song just makes me cry all the time...
+Dikeledi Sophy It's wonderful food for the soul :)
The best rendition of World in Union, those African rhythms.
Its so inspiring
I have to listen to this in a locked room🤣 because the tears flow freely right throughout the whole thing
makes the two of us.....so emotional
PJ Powers is my cousin
I haven't heard anyone in the world sing this song better than PJ Powers. No one. And the background vocals of Black Mambazo make this song so unique. Powerful duet.
But she should have sung this song live , now it sounds awkward
She has always peace and unity to the world. Love and respect to you PJ
1000% agree, Daphne!
World in Union, Mzansi fo sho.
RIP Joost and Best Wishes to your family. Zuid Afrika bedankt: the world loves you van een engelsman
This song always makes me cry and gives me shivers! Thanks Ms Powers ♥
Nan She gives this song her all. 👍🏻😊
@@cletotirabassi very true, there's something beautiful, genuine and spiritual about the song.
@@Nan-dx4xc Absolutely! Hearing it always gives me goosebumps :)
Priceless
Absolutely!
I have listened to the song many times, however I still get teary eyes. Thank you
You get flooded with a symphony of feelings ,tears of joy and a lot more.
This song always brings a lump in my throat. Powerful themes, powerful voice, heartfelt delivery, special times and all wrapped around a wonderful sport. I will never associate another song with rugby world cup.
2019 we have brought it home again. Proud of you boys. Go bokke

Though I was too young too remember the rugby world Cup in 1995, as I was only 3. when I listen to this, it never fails to give me goosebumps.
So true! A very moving and powerful rendition of the song :)
Farryn Grevler,I know This
Memories of winning the 1995 world cup ,when rugby was rugby

was shocked to hear this song at John MaCain's funeral last week on saturday, i almost came to tears in how some ppl believe in this initiative...
Denn Sigauke Thanks Denn! Fully agree :)
It wasnt this that was played it was a song called i vow to thee my country, a traditional british hymn which is set to the same melody
@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 thank you, had hear it myself, the melody is highly similar...
And so it is..
😂😂😂@@ebojfmdboojoh4023
love you pj powers , very inspirational voice sweet voice . with great massage
Very much so especially 1995
I never knew this song but when my singing teacher told us that we should memorise the song what a prize-giving I started to look up at and that all ended up your very nice song and I just can't get enough of it my brothers and my family I just totally annoyed of me saying but I don't care
Thanks Dalair! I fully agree :)
I just love this woman...
Yup! One of a kind :)

R.I.P Joost nd Madiba.this song reminds me this two leaders
I second that RIP Joost.Mandela rot in hell.
@@sundance9153 get help, or a life. Joost would be ashamed of your attitude. World in Union!
@@ntatemohlomi2884 I guess you never knew Mandela was a communist huh.And being a communist is not what it appears to be if you noticed.Work for the state,which is exactly what is happening in this beautiful country of ours.

God bless the Rainbow nation.
Mandela's vision of a rainbow nation was not what we all thought it would be.What do you expect from a thug and a communist.
Go's will always help where he can I always will

Yep, much better than Paloma's butchered version.
+Peter Leung Totally agree :)
+Peter Leung The only aspect of Paloma's version that connects me with rugby is that it sounds like she suffered a concussion before she started singing!
I get goosebumps AND FEEL PRIDE everytime i hear this song from PJ..
