GHANAIAN REACTS TO SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM.... I have been singing it wrong the whole time?

I have always loved the South Africa National Anthem. I remember always telling people I knew how to sing the nkosi sikelele l'Africa but guess what. Turns out I don't know how to sing it. I was sing the South African Anthem wrong this whole time.
The national anthem of South Africa was adopted in 1997 and is a hybrid song combining new English lyrics with extracts of the 19th century hymn "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" (English: "God Bless Africa", lit. '"Lord Bless Africa"') and the Afrikaans song "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika" (English: "The Call of South Africa"), which was formerly used as the South African national anthem from the late 1930s to the mid-1990s. The committee responsible for this new composition included Anna Bender, Elize Botha, Richard Cock, Dolf Havemann (Secretary), Mzilikazi Khumalo (Chairman), Masizi Kunene, John Lenake, Fatima Meer, Khabi Mngoma, Wally Serote, Johan de Villiers, and Jeanne Zaidel-Rudolph. The South African national anthem is often referred to by its incipit of "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika", but this has never been its official title, which is simply "National anthem of South Africa".

The one you sang in school is a Swahili version of it (Before it was amendend in 1994) which was later amendend and adopted as RSAs national anthem in 1994 as a result Afrikaans and English were added. Also other countries such as Tanzania, Zambia and other countries. It was meant to be African Union anthem

@sibusisosimama7501 2 года назад

can you check the south african version that did not have english and african the original nkosi sikelela

@kiblinflinn8147 Год назад

It was written by Enoch Sontonga in isiXhosa, as a prayer hymn to bless Africa .

@RottenFrog 3 года назад

Yeeaah, in South Africa you must be linguistically gifted! The anthem represents as well the unity of SA as the people's diversity. By the way, I live near Cape Town and I speak English, Afrikaans, Italian, German and a bit of isiXhosa and isiZulu

Fun Fact: The South African National Anthem is actually the African Continental Anthem, it’s also the Tanzanian national anthem, just adapted into different languages

@ananyangkewetse9522 3 года назад

Hun you are so gorgeous 😊 what you are singing is the hymn "Nkosi Sikelela" the SA anthem was a mixture of the hymn and die stem van Suid Afrika so the whole Anthem is a prayer that is why most people close their eyes when singing the anthem 😍 again you are beautiful

@alexormulea 2 года назад

The South African anthem is mostly a prayer. Only the Afrikaans and English portions at the end are a pledge... The anthem also refers to Africa as a whole, in such a way that it can be sung for any and all African countries... I'm Zimbabwean though I'm from Beitbridge which is the border into RSA, and I can assure you we also learn the same rhythm in informal settings though for us the words made sense because we speak n understand RSA languages

@WarNeverChanges9191 2 года назад

True but back in the days the Die Stem was a mixture between a prayer and a pledge they could have taken the prayer part at least for the current anthem.

Your lyrics are not wrong. You sang the Tanzanian adaptation of the song. (Basically the same meaning in Swahili) There was once a call to make the song the official anthem of the African Union. Here are the Lyrics of the contemporary South African Anthem: Nkosi sikelel' I Africa. Mal'uphakanisu phondo lwayo. Yizwa yimi thandazo yethu. Nkosi sikelela. Thina. Luswapho lwayo. Morena boloka sechaba sa heso. O feditse dintwa le matswenyego, ose buluke o se boloke, sechaba sa, heso, sechaba sa South Africa. Uit die blou van onse hemel, uit die diepte van one see. Oor ons ewige gebertis, waar die kraanse antwoord gee. Sounds that call to come together, and united we shall stand. Let us live and strive for freedom in South Africa our land.

@lungelomntungwa934 3 года назад

I think parts of the Anthem you were singing is the original version before it’s was infused to include other languages

@lsteyn9310 3 года назад

I love you! You mentioned they all had their eyes closed. Nkosi Sikilel' Afrika is a prayer which means "God Bless Africa". The first part is sung in Xhosa, second in Zulu, third in Sesotho. This is followed by the Afrikaans Die Stem van Suid Afrika and finally The Call of South Africa. We have 11 official languages. ❤
