Absolutely great! Im so very happy that i happened to come across this very informative post. Thank you so much to all who participated in this project ❤
I think as Africans we associate the song with a call for freedom which is a common theme to all of us. I am in my 50s and when I was growing up in Nigeria in the 70s, I was taught this song by my teacher. A Zimbabwean friend of mine told me that they used to sing the song when he was growing up in the 80s in Harare.
@@tonye.8023 that’s the original Nkosisikelela, this has only 2 stanzas from the original hymn. 2 stanzas are new which you wouldn’t have sung then as they are from Die Stem (apartheid anthem) and one stanza composed anew post 1994. So not exactly the song you used to sing back when SA was still under apartheid in 80s, it’s just part of that old song but not it’s in entirety. Hence this is called the new SA anthem because none of it really existed in its entirety before 1994
This is my favorite anthem right after my own American anthem. I have been listening to it for 20+ years from a worship album I got in the 90’s. Thank you so much for helping to learn the right words and be able to actually sing it correct! My other favorite song is Thule Sizwe “be still nation”. It the winds of worship album. If you’ve never heard it, it’s beautiful!!!!
A couple of the comments here really miss the point of the anthem, which Madiba himself brilliantly decided should incorporate multiple languages as one of his tools of nation-building and uniting the country after apartheid was dismantled. The result truly is one of the most moving national anthems on the planet. (As an outsider, I have enjoyed singing it along with South African friends while watching Springbok rugby matches in pubs or in the stadiums the five times I was fortunate enough to attend in person.) Thank you for this fine tutorial; I think the younger generation of South Africans might do well to study the meanings behind the lyrics, which most have learned but many don’t relate to the ones that are not in one of their languages and don’t necessarily understand all of their own anthem.
There was so much hope, in Europe the iron-corten came down, Namibia becomes indipendent and South-Africa stopptedApartheid. In the 90th was so much hope for a better Planet, please let going on!
First I would like to add else we'll it's a beautiful voice you have and also I would like to hambeley correct you Sikelela does not mean bless, this song our song is not friendly and this prayer our prayer is not friendly, it's personal to all so-called-Africans and also Nguni is the most dominant tone in what now is called South Africa. Afrikaans and English still remain a foreign language by feel and by certaincy.nguni language's or rather Nguni tones are the current library of so-called-Africa, there is blood and crys of so-called-Africans in that song or rather let me say Chant, also Afrikaans and English language where added to that chant for the sake of imposing to adverse the chant.Lo❤

Dankie ek het altyd gewonder wat die Afrikaanse deel beteken

"If you want to play Rughby for your country, you must learn the words!" XD

The languages of "Afrikaans and English" should have been left otherwise it's an awfully beautiful sing!
😮
The original revolutionary anthem was by far better.
