Ndlovu Youth Choir - Shosholoza Feat. Kaunda Ntunja 

There is not a better song in the world! This Is TRUE SOUTH AFRICA!!!

With so much mediocrity and negativism in SA at the moment, the Ndlovu Youth Choir rejuvenates the soul. We are so blessed to have your skills and energy. And of course, go Bokke!

It's Ndlovu again🥳🥳❤💥......Mob love from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

This song makes me proud to be South African. And I am not South African at all. Just a song that lifts your spirit. This is probably the best rendition of it.

Yoh, the joy of being South African is a joy that can't be described in words, it's a feeling, a fire, a vibe, our people. I am South Africa, because you are South Africa, because we are South Africa.

Love from Zimbabwe 🙈❤😍😍

I'm German, but whenever I feel down, I listen to that song, and it lifts me up again. Most beautiful song for me.

When you're homesick for South Africa, this soothes your soul ❤

This is arguably one of THE most emotionally uplifting songs I’ve ever heard ✊️😄🌅🌅🌅. I fell in love with this amazing choir during their first appearance on AGT & have been a fan ever since. Peace & best wishes to all… From Australia 🇦🇺✌️😄🇦🇺

South Africa is the Land of Music. It richly deserves that title because it has and has had so many great singers, musicians, composers -- of all kinds. I won't list them because the list would fill a page. And, under that title, we have to add that South Africa is also the Land of Choirs, and that helps make it the Land of Music. But South Africa also stands out in a couple of other big ways: First, it is the Land that Honors its Rich Indigenous Music Heritage; and, it is also the Land of Anthems. "Shosholoza", SA's sports anthem, is but one of many.

Love from Germany

From wikipedia accessed 3/08/19 According to cultural researchers Booth and Nauright, Zulu workers later took up the song to generate rhythm during group tasks and to alleviate boredom and stress.[2] The song was sung by working miners in time with the rhythm of swinging their axes to dig. It was usually sung under hardship in call and response style (one man singing a solo line and the rest of the group responding by copying him).[1] It was also sung by prisoners in call and response style using alto and soprano parts divided by row. The late former South African President Nelson Mandela described how he sang Shosholoza as he worked during his imprisonment on Robben Island. He described it as "a song that compares the apartheid struggle to the motion of an oncoming train" and went on to explain that "the singing made the work lighter".[3] The song was usually sung to express the hardship of working in the mines. It expresses heartache over the hard work performed in the mines. The word Shosholoza or "tshotsholoza!" means go forward or make way for the next man, in Ndebele.[5] It is used as a term of encouragement and hope for the workers as a sign of solidarity The sound "sho sho" uses onomatopoeia and reminiscent of the sound made by the steam train (stimela).[1] Stimela is an Nguni word for steam train. "Kulezo ntaba!" means (At those far away mountains), "Stimela Siphume eZimbabwe" (the train come from Zimbabwe), "Wen' uya baleka" (Because you're running away/hurrying).[1] In contemporary times, its meaning is to show support for any struggle.[6] before I used wikipedia I struggled towards that meaning as shown below Can anyone telll me if I'm on or off target here. poetically? poetic interpretation overall it might resemble "we shall overcome" I like to think of it as Nelson Mandela described it as a working song for hard labor prisoners, a song of quiet, confident faith that this injustice will not stand because the revolution, though distant moves strongly to our aid, like an old steam train going up a hard gradient, working hard, doing maybe 10-15mph, but powerful, unstoppable chuff chuff, chufff chuff /chuff chuff, chufff chuff /chuff chuff, chufff chuff /chuff chuff, chufff chuff feel that rhythm, become like the steam train in your struggle, coming to the aid of the people, how will injustce persist if we all have a steam train's endurance, persistence, calm fortitude. How can apartheid stand against a quiet tide of human steam trains? It can't, so by emulating the steam train we bring the revolution. By singing the song, we become iron, steel, fire, steam. By singing the song, we become the *change we advocate. All over the world, together. That at least is the possibiliy. Though we are often let down and often disappoint ourselves, still, somehow, we keep the hope alive.

Well done boys World Cup 🎉

One of the most beautiful countries in the world..all the love to SA people.

The Rugby World Cup Champs🥳💚

I'm always an England/Lions fan until the exact second I hear this choir sing

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇰🇪

Pura vida desde Costa Rica de centro américa mis raíces son de África espero algún día visitar la tierra de mis ancestros

Voices of Angels. Love this group

Incredible!!! This song was VERY much needed right now. Lift up your people and your nation with music. I hope all who are involved with the choir, along with their families and friends, are safe. I was devastated to see the damage done to SA by its own people. Rioting and looting is NOT protest and looting is NOT done to bring about change. Looting is opportunistic self-enrichment at the cost of others, nothing more. Those who took part should all hang their heads in shame, at the harm they did to their fellow South Africans...especially to the owners and employees of the businesses which were damaged and destroyed.

This song makes me emotional🥹❤🇬🇭❤️🇿🇦

The greatest indigenous youth choir on the planet. From South Africa, Land of Music. But also land of excellence, determination, optimism, courage and much more. I always look to South Africa for some of the world’s best examples of these, and of strength.

Proud to be South African

Sending you love from Papua New Guinea ❤️🤍🖤💛

Proud to be SOUTH AFRICAN 🇿🇦

God bless you... Our precious Ndlovu Youth Choir, who brings hope to our weary nation!

As a Black American whose ancestors were ripped from the mother continent by the oppressors... I have to say that I feel connected so deeply to South Africa. I hope to visit there one day soon and possibly stay to live there with the people who could possibly share a common ancestor with me. Everytime I hear an African choir I have to fight back tears.

I love 😍 Südafrika 🇿🇦 Love from Germany 🇩🇪
