A proclamation issued by the then State President, Nelson Mandela, on 20 April 1994 in terms of the provisions of Section 248 (1) together with Section 2 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1993 (Act 200 of 1993), stated that the Republic of South Africa would have two national anthems. They were Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika and The Call of South Africa (Die Stem van Suid-Afrika).
The lyrics employ the five most populous of South Africa's eleven official languages - isiXhosa (first stanza, first two lines), isiZulu (first stanza, last two lines), seSotho (second stanza), Afrikaans (third stanza) and English (final stanza).
Nkosi Sekelel' iAfrika was composed in 1897 by Enoch Sontonga, a Methodist school teacher. It was originally sung as a church hymn but later became an act of political defiance against the apartheid Government. Die Stem van Suid-Afrika/The Call of South Africa was written by C.J. Langenhoven in 1918. "Die Stem" was the co-national anthem with God Save the King/Queen from 1936 to 1957, when it became the sole national anthem until 1994. The South African Government under Nelson Mandela adopted both songs as national anthems from 1994 until they were merged in 1997 to form the current anthem.

Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
Setjhaba sa South Afrika - South Afrika. (Sesotho)
Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee, (Afrikaans)
Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa our land.
My only concern comes with the last section (Afrikaans) let us keep fighting for South Africa our land. If you know you know
@dorothy dustbin yea most Brits keep saying stuff like the camps where only temporary and the people could always buy their way out and go back home (the British burned their homes down but looted them first) and so after 27 thousand Boers and 30 native allies dead in the camps the British packed their bags and left and our young boys who lived through the camps would go on to fight for the britsh in the first world war some 12 years later
@@benjaminkamotho8832 honestly I disagree with your comment (on the way how you say it), perhaps I know how you mean it and I, as a Dutch myself, fully agrees on you as I know what you mean. However I think without compensation is a bit too harsh. What if they already gave the land back by themselves?
South African anthem gives me chills everytime I hear it. So amazing! Love from a Canadian.
Same here even tho I’m a South African it still does
even if you don't understand what it means?
@@outerbanks8917 i am pretty sure the country is still segregated
@@christophercolumbus8944 people love French anthem La Marseillaise even though they don’t know what it means (lyrics), what’s your point?
It's a good anthem. looks like they are going to be world champions tonight.
I’m Samoan and I have grown up loving this song and singing both anthems when playing South Africa. Respect 🇼🇸🇿🇦
respect bro
Massive respect and love to you, your beautiful country and people!
right…most of us tongans & samoans that watched rugby growin up know south africa, new zealand, & australia’s national anthem
Now this is the spirit of Mandela. Forget the squabbling of the ANC, EFF and the DA in parliament.
Maybe someone should create a "Nelson Mandela movement" and stand in elections.
I've never heard the South African national anthem before. What a beautiful song it is!
Thank you Benseac
@@JethroMashego I love SA anthem but best anthem might go to the maoris
It's a combination of the ANC anthem, Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika, and the old anthem of South Africa used before and during Apartheid (and briefly after apartheid), Die Stem van Suid-Afrika/The Call of South-Africa
Came here cause someone said South Africa’s anthem is beautiful. It really is 🎶
Thx😙😙
whos watching this after trevor?

guilty...but then saw the RSA for World Rugby first lol
No matter what country it is it gives me chills when people sing their anthem so proudly.
I felt goosebumps even if it's not my countries national anthem love from india🇮🇳
Thank you
me too ..India
Well part of South Africa is Indian so :D
Me as well
@@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977 which part? :D
RESPECT SOUTH AFRICA FOR HAVING THE FORTITUDE, COURAGE AND MORAL INTEGRITY DESPITE THE CHALLENGES IN YOUR OWN NATION, TO RISE IN DIGNITY IN SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE OF PALESTINE....... 👈💯🙏
Love and admiration from Israel as well! South Africa is beautiful a shining light in so many ways, radiating with love between its people. Rarely does an anthem inspire such fervor and emotion like Hatikva ("The Hope"). but Nkosi Sikelel Afrika is definitely similar. Just incredible to hear the hope and love in this song, obviously felt in the hearts of all who sing it. Praying for the day when all wars end and songs like this can be shared in conditions of true and lasting peace.
What a beautiful anthem!
Respect from Japan
I can’t wait RWC2019!
Tonight my man!!!!
@Pink Alien It's a different culture. Japan is a country forged in traditions and nostalgia. Their anthem resonates with that.
Pink Alien I think so, and some people said it imagined past militarism. but I proud of this song & my country.
And South Africa won RWC2019 !
Hideki Hondo ,,,!bam
Seeing them sing their Anthem... you can't help but feel the passion, their pride and love of country. So mesmerizing, especially that girl with dark hair shown in 0.47 to 0.55 o the tape.
She is so hot... just saying
i wish our country was as great as our anthem
I love south african anthem ! One of the most emotional anthem in the world !
I watch this everyday at 5am when I get up! It brings me to my knees
I just wish our government could uphold our country to what our Anthem stands for.
Awww thx😙😙😙
I'm always so moved whenever I hear South Africa's anthem. One of the most beautiful anthems in the world. ❤
Wow this anthem is a mood I'm a Kenyan but now I can sing it after several days watching... It's soo deep and emotional
most beautiful and heartfelt national anthem in the world!
Yes!
Delusional 😂😂😂
@@eliasacheampong5830 no. It actually is. What are you thai or something?
really?
how old is it ?
I love you my beautiful South Africa, I miss home. God bless all South Africans.
You are such a wonderful person. Stay blessed at all time 😇🇿🇦
Make your money and come home!
As a person from the United States, I liked this song since I was a teenager. This song is an inspiration to not only South Africa but also to everyone in the world and I will say it is one of the best songs written for this county. During the days when South Africa was still under the racist apartheid regime, I still hear those who were protesting against their evil government at that time singing it. I AM GLAD THIS SONG IS AN ANTHEM FOR SOUTH AFRICA!!
That is a half truth. It starts with the hymn used in the anti apartheid era at that start but if you keep on listening to all of it part of the apartheid national anthem is still included in the current national anthem.
@@wonjubhoy Ok but now Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika is the main anthem of South Africa now.
@@trainelavalais6280 it is but it is not the original version of the song. It starts that way but it is mixed in with other parts. There are 5 different languages in the south African national anthem. The last 2 languages in it have white origins.
Congrats South Africa totally deserved and lovely to see a United nation once again 🇿🇦🇮🇪
So proud too be south african.
Forever south africa!
The girl in the audience singing with alot of passion!
This Anthem is just a mood by itself.
@@JethroMashego It's in the top 5 anthems for sure
*girls.
@Lynda Anthony hahahaaha
What's an alot?
When I see South Africa , I see Whites and Blacks . They represent the world. I love South Africa from Ghana
One of the most beautiful national anthems in the world. Sung with the pride that only comes from a nation that has been through pain ❤️
We emigrated from Klerksdorp to New York City when I was 9 in 1969 for my father's job.
While I am now an American Citizen, for nearly 40 years... I will always be first and foremost a very proud South African.
I was a meeting missionary to South Africa Johannesburg for 10yrs now living in U.S. I LOVE SOUTH AFRICA
Oh my god, I had goosebumps all over my body listening to them seeing their passion singing their Anthem.
probably the worlds greatest anthem
TheWelshy83 fuck the northern hemisphere ahah
this or the welsh

English translation of Xhosa and Zulu version
Lord bless Africa
May her glory be lifted high
Hear our petitions
Lord bless us, your children
English translation of Sesotho version
Lord we ask You to protect our nation
Intervene and end all conflicts
Protect us, protect our nation
Protect South Africa, South Africa
English translation of Afrikaans version
Out of the blue of our heavens
Out of the depths of our seas
Over our everlasting mountains
Where the echoing crags resound
You didn't need to translate it...
We knew what it meant from our hearts.
@@gidget330 Chinekeee what wrong with you?! if you don't need it many people like me need it,don't generalize biko! if you knew what it meant from your heart not everybody abeg.
Anyways #JethroMashego thank you so much for the translation.
@@hopechidera bruh, I meant it as emotionally we can feel the meaning.
Jethro Mashego, thanks so much for translating it for those of us that want to understand the meaning of the words in English.
That is beautiful.
As a Welshman I love your Anthem , it brings me to tears. God bless you all .
And I'm a South African that Loves the Welsh anthem such passion and pride
Says you with likely the best anthem ever! Appreciate it my Cymru friend
Massive respect to you, your beautiful country and your wonderful, friendly Welsh people. No nation, can match the Welsh when it comes to singing!
I was in a bar in Beijing to watch RWC2019 final with South African friends. I was so proud that I could sing the anthem fluently.
God bless SA!
I Love your David!
Ameen🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽we need all the prayers in the entire universe 😢
My favourite National Anthem after my country’s.I have taught my daughter as well.I heard it for the first time in Cry Freedom.
I'm Italian proud of my anthem 1 and a half century old ,but this lyric, sharing 4 maybe 5 different languages, joining different cultures, religions and ,y not , skin colors gives me goosebumps.
NKOSI SIKELEL 'iAFRICA 🌈
Needless to say I feel goosebumps every time I hear our anthem. I find this interpretation particularly good. To my mind, one of the best. The stadium singing in unison is quite impressive too

Definitely one of the best renditions I have heard of South Africa’s National Anthem. What made this even more memorable is how the whole team and coach sang so passionately, and the fact it was before an iconic win for the boks.
i am here because of Trevor Noah to see if they know their anthem with 11 languages
Lolz me too
But it's only 5 of them in the national anthem
@@msihlpat717 oh thanks for that info
We have 11 official languages but all of them aren’t in our national them ☺️
@@caitlin7783 u have on of the most beautiful national anthems imo...tanzanian is dope too
God bless South Africa 🙏 Wees sterk
For all out there who love the unity of the Springbok rugby team but who can't be in Paris on Sunday, sing this loud and proud for the 33 men, captain Siya, coach Jacques and manager Rassie who are all winners regardless of the result - we salute you. Viva Amabokoboko, viva! ❤❤☮☮ Hamba kakuhle Madiba!
This is my favourite national anthem and i come here again to listen to it on repeat to hear a piece of Heaven on earth. Goosebumps every time and will never get bored of it. Much love and prayers. UK.
thank you south africa for being on the right side of history.
From a kiwi, what a beautiful anthem you guys have...and she has an angelic voice to match. I love my country anthem but I could listen to the SA anthem all day
Michael Shellings Thank you so much. We appreciate you. Stay blessed
Love From India! 🇮🇳 ❤️🇿🇦
May God bring our country to it's glory once more,with unity,peace and blessings.
I miss our beloved country 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤

The best I’ve heard the South African anthem sung was in the 1995 final against New Zealand. Nelson Mandela had come out wearing the Springbok jersey which was obviously a huge historical moment and the anthems were sung by a female choir wearing (what looked like to me) traditional African dress with the pattern of the new South African flag. The anthem was slightly different to today it didn’t have English in it for a start but watching the South Africans you could see what a day it was for them. Francois Pienaar the captain said in an interview several years later he couldn’t move his mouth to sing the anthem as he was so close to crying after seeing Mandela wearing his number 6 and James Small had tears in his eyes too.
Ironically the same choir then went on to sing the New Zealand anthem better than I’ve ever heard it sung as well.
It’s one of those days you know they’ll still be talking about in 100years time. As an Englishman and rugby fan I love the SA anthem.
This is probably the most captivating Anthem ever composed. Makes you want to shade tears. It sounds like a Church song 🎵 the most beautiful followed by the Russian one
It's based off Nkosi Sikeleli Afrika, a Xhosa christian hymn.
I get goose bumps whenever i listen to our beautiful National Anthem. Truely one of the most inclusive in the world where everyone belongs. We are South Africa. Aslam Mahomed Johannesburg South Africa.
Sing your country's national anthem in a loud voice. This is something every country should imitate.
I love South Africa I hope they grow even stronger as a united country and love to visit one day!
John Wayne thank you for this beautiful comments, I wish the same as you. May you stay blessed
John Wayne you can visit - I’ll be your tour guide 😊👌👏🏼
@@JethroMashego what about me
Am Kenyan but truth be told SA national Anthem gave me chills ...💕💕💕
Look at the girls at 0:50 mins and u understand that passion. Love the fact the black and white stand side by side.
We here in Bosnia have people who support 3 religions. So many are so stressed with that that they forget how to love ure own Land...
Love u guys.. keep it up!!!
People are so stressed with religions & nationalities they forget to love each other 🙁
@@iMonsieurAnthony But the biggest rat are u my Friend... no more need to say...
Antonis and what “rat” group do you belong to?
I’m an absolute mutt with my heritage ... so I guess a rat X 4 European nationalities (Irish (Dublin), Dutch, English and Welsh) - kind of a lot of historical turmoil between that ... but shit I’ll take it! I’m alive - and wait for it - I was born and raised in South Africa ... so an absolute mutt! My Catholic grandmother (Irish) and pure bread English grandmother couldn’t sit down at sane table together ... my Dutch grandfather couldn’t sit at the table with anyone as far as I remember (but improved BIG time when his great grand kids were born, not his grand kids).
Hey - this world is a crazy and fun place! I’m proud to be a mutt or a rat or whatever you feel need to point fingers at! But certainly, you’re just an asshole with that comment. Try again ... but not disrespecting my “born in” country’s anthem doing so
@@bobbybobby3070
Wow, u sir give this rat up there a hell of a backround information...
Well done sir... have a good day and stay proud...
Would love to visit SA one day...

Armin Hanific Da ne govorimo kako im je lijepa, emocionalna himna sa historijom za razliku od naše koja je dijelom ukradena iz intra jednog filma i tužno je slušati.
Best national anthem! Always love watching the SA national anthem when it comes to rugby games. Much love from NZ
Well said! I'm also a kiwi and love this anthem :)
Thanks! To be fair, as a South African if I couldn't pick our anthem - I would pick yours as my favourite, with the Irish anthem trailing in 3rd behind us
I love God Defend New Zealand too though. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I met a woman before Christmas who is from South Africa and now living in Scotland and we have become very close
Little did I realise as I cheered on SA in the semi and Final after my team Scotland were eliminated from the RWC that
I was cheering for her home Nation
Maybe the God's had already planned our meeting
I must admit the SA anthem sends shivers down my spine
It is truly wonderful
blacks and whites united for a peaceful nation I LOVE IT
With you. Love our people
Best Anthem, world champions. From France 🇫🇷
Thank You Mr G Serrano
I belive France might just be the next world Champs. Either us for a second time in a row or the French. Young brilliant team they building.

I am Nigerian and this is beautiful. Gives me goosebumps
Her voice is absolutely amazing!
I also find it interesting how I can easily understand the Afrikaans part of the anthem (native Swedish speaker and studied German for four years in school). That's cool. :)

God Bless Africa, forever. Africa is our truth Homeland

SA national anthem will always be my favorite. Ifeel it in my soul every time. My parents also grew up singing ‘nkosi sikeleli Africa’ in boarding school in Nigeria when they were young, as did other ‘boomers’ across Africa that time so I’ve heard. It speaks so beautifully to us all. Shout out to SA❤️❤️
We are better when we stand together. I love you South Africa
