- Afrikaners Landgenote of Afrikaners Landgenoten is 'n Afrikaner volkslied. Dit is gebaseer op die deuntjie van "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" en is losweg gebaseer op die lied. Dit is geskryf deur Nico Hofmeyr en was bedoel as 'n alternatiewe Afrikaanstalige nasionale volkslied vir Suid-Afrika naas God Save the King voordat Die Stem van Suid-Afrika aangeneem is.
Na die totstandkoming van die Unie van Suid-Afrika het Afrikaners beswaar gemaak dat "God Save the King" die enigste amptelike volkslied van Suid-Afrika sou wees. Hulle wou egter nie die ou liedere van die voormalige Boererepublieke herinstel nie. Gevolglik het die Genootskap van Regte Afrikaners 'n kompetisie gehou om 'n Afrikaanstalige volkslied te skep. Afrikaners Landgenote is voorgestel vir die kompetisie, en hoewel 'n ander lied getiteld Waar Tafelberg begin aanvanklike steun geniet het, het die genootskap besluit om Afrikaners Landgenote voor te stel as die Afrikaanse volkslied naas God Save the King. Alhoewel hierdie veldtog uiteindelik misluk het aangesien "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika" in 1938 as die nasionale volkslied gekies is, het "Afrikaners Langenoten" gewild geword as 'n nie-amptelike volkslied.
"Afrikaners Landgenote" or "Afrikaners Landgenoten" is a South African Afrikaner folk song. It is set to the tune of "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" and was a loose translation of that song. It was written by Nico Hofmeyer and was intended as an alternative Afrikaans-language national anthem for South Africa alongside "God Save the King" before "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika".
Following the creation of the Union of South Africa, Afrikaners objected to "God Save the King" being the only official anthem of South Africa. However they had no desire to restore the old anthems of the former Boer Republics. Accordingly, the Genootskap van Regte Afrikaners held a contest to create an Afrikaans-language national anthem. "Afrikaners Landgenote" was proposed for the contest, and though another song titled "Waar Tafelberg begin" (English: Where Table Mountain begins) received initial support, the society decided to go with "Afrikaners Landgenote" to propose as the Afrikaans co-national anthem. Though this campaign failed with "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika" being selected as the co-national anthem in 1938, "Afrikaners Langenote" became popular as an unofficial national anthem.
