World champs once again 2023. Proud to be South African. Keep this song cos it will remain the best for the next generations to come. African version has that thing.
love love this song I was matriculating that year first full academic year matriculants in the new SA rainbow nation and here we are Rugby KINGS wow what a journey #strongertogether
Who would have thought that the players born this year would be the ones to take home the World Cup for the 4th time as a first in history. Born just late enough to miss apartheid but early enough to still suffer the struggles of the of South Africa till now. I’m proud to be South African.
This song is Soooo special. I become emotional when I listen to it seeing the Springboks fighting sooooooo hard for our Country. This song is uniting. 😭😭💪💪😍❤️
I was 7 years old when my family and I emigrated to England in 1995. I remember watching the rugby world cup. This version always gives me goosebumps, a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat. Cause I will always be South African ❤❤❤
Pure magical my sister is too young to remember this I was only 8 but still remember it. But she's in South Africa on her honeymoon, they only know that Waka Waka Shakira song. Nothing on this, coming from an Irishman this is so so special. R.I.P Jonah Lomu too❤❤
I associate this song with the year South Africans became free people. My parents were against the Apartheid regime and I remember this as turnpoint in South Africa and my personal life. This song is iconic - especially this version. To think a country went through such a dramatic change just before the World Cup and pulled of such an event with so much pried... makes me tear up. Things have gone so bad afterwards.
What a wonderful song, which will be there forever from South Africa, this was so much more than just rugby, it was a nation coming out of apartheid, the words are very much about this, the song is part of my childhood, rugby world cup 95 will remain in the memory of so many, its sad that the changes for the majority of South Africans have still not happened and our beautiful country is in the state that it is... This song still gives me goosebumps!
RWC 2023 is currently being stage on round two and Australia Wallabies lose to the Flying Fijians yesterday for the first time in 60 years. And this Rugby anthem always come to mind when i think of RWC ...
❤😂this will stay in my heart the best world cup those days iwas working at Groote Schuur hosp.iwas running in 15min. Time to Salt river for train😅 to Kraaifontein but everything change
I was 12 at this world cup event and still ta best version of world in union, my first time ever to watched Jonah (rip) at His best in the sémi-final when they demolished England and i felt so sick when they lost in da final. Its 2023 now n i never find ta best occasion in a RWC except this
I C O N I C ! ! ! I was 10 years old in 1995. That year the spirit throughout the country was indescribable. There was an energy. I can still remember busses on white people going into black areas to celebrate, which was illegal a couple months prior. Seeing black people setting off fireworks on beaches for white people. Francois Pienaar and our boys lifting Madiba up. My tears rolling now. It was riveting. We truly we in union. Wow just wow. I was gifted to lived thru that and I'll never forget it ❤ this is the ONLY version I'll listen to. Period
I was 10 when this World Cup was on I had been playing rugby for 5 years, It will always be favorite theme . Unfortunately I had to retire from playing at 23 due to injury. But I will always love the game.
I just looked up the stupid devilish song because I couldn't even remember what they call the stupid song and because I wanted to point out to someone what become of their "new age". All this song represents is the arrogance and stupidity of man. It represent South Africa that exchanged its Christian heritage for fake gold (friendship with the world). Look how it is now in South Africa! and not to mention the "peace" in the world and the unity of the world. What is their "new age" that has began! if it wasn't so tragic you could laugh about it!
I remember looking at my mom during the game and those last suspenseful moments before the whistle blew. She was silently crying. What a day to be a South African! I cannot explain what I saw that day. It was a feeling more than anything else and this song evokes emotions I felt that day
God this brings back memories I was 8 years old joyfully watching England beat Australia 25-22 in the quarters, then heartbreak in our battering against NZ a week later! Lomu came to the stage!!!
Likewise also 8 years old, I was at Newlands for the opening game and also the SF I’ll never forget Lomu v Catt which seemed so muc more brutal in real life
I'm a New Zealander but this will always be my favourite world cup. I was 12 so it was the first one I could follow properly. I remember leaving my tv on all night and falling asleep during a game (we're 12 hours ahead of SA) and then waking up during another etc, plus the replays came on again a few hours later so you could watch what you missed. It felt like some grand occasion! This song used to give me tingles and pump me up. I was too old for the next world cups for it to feel so magical. And I also cared less when NZ got knocked out. This one broke my heart at the final. It took many years for me to accept that the stars were always aligned for South Africa to win this tournament ☺️
Bro I was 10 and exactly the same as an aussie. I worshipped campese and gregan and two years earlier i'd seen the monster Lomu destroy a guy as he broke down the wing live at a sevens tournament. This was when Rugby's popularity was hitting the big time and it was amazing!
