Eine der schönsten Nationalhymnen die ich jemals gehört habe. Da versteht man wahrlich wie stolz eine Nation sein kann wenn deren Nationalhymne zu feierlichen aber auch zu sportlichen Anlässen gespielt wird. Voller Hingabe und voller Selbstbewusstsein und Nationalstolz wird diese Hymne gespielt und gesungen. Ein Gefühl was ich als Deutscher mit unserer Nationalhymne ohne Patriotismus oder Überheblichkeit auch sehr gerne spüren und verkörpern möchte und nicht als Missbrauch der damaligen Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, sondern als die Nation die wir Deutschen seit 1949 nun einmal sind und die wir seit dem 03. Oktober 1990 auch mit dem zweiten deutschen Staat wieder vereint eingegangen sind der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Unserem Heimatland das man mit Stolz betrachten kann und nicht mit Abscheu wie es die Nationalsozialisten damals gebracht hatten und unser Ansehen in den Dreck gezogen hatten. Gott schütze unser Land die Bundesrepublik Deutschland. 🇩🇪
Patriotismus und Nationalismus sind zwei ganz verschiedene Sachen. Die Nationalsozialisten waren keine Patrioten, sie haben die Liebe zum Vaterland mißbraucht und andere Völker verachtet. Ich bin stolz Deutscher zu sein und daß wir heute ein Staat haben wo Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit im Grundgesetz verankert sind und daß wir auch in Harmonie und Freundschaft mit allen andere eueopäischen leben
Each time this ANTHEM is being played, tears flows down my eyes with questions; WHEN WILL AFRICA CONTINENT BE FREE FROM SLAVERY? GOD, BLESS US THE AFRIKANS.
Such a beautiful song, remember being a teenager watching Cry Freedom and beginning to understand that dividing people is never a way to follow. Apartheid, and other systems created to divide us, should allways be fought against.
I don't understand this anthem since it's not in my language, but that has not stopped me from enjoying one of the greatest national anthems of the African continent. We used to play this song in the brass band at my school in Ghana, West Africa, but I never knew it was the South African National Anthem. Whoever put this piece together did a very priceless job and deserve the utmost commendation. #GodBlessAfrica #GodBlessMandela
It was done by EMILONJI KANTU CHURCH CHOIR.IM 🇰🇪 KENYAN BUT I LISTENED TO THIS SONG ALL THE TIME. NOW I UNDERSTAND TO SING IT IT FROM THE BEGINNING TO END
The best national anthem in the world - a majestic and proud piece of music. Always reminds me of that excellent film "Cry Freedom", and of Biko, Mandela and the South African people who suffered so much.
@dutchskyrimgamer.youtube2748 I guess it is a good thing for you because if we were to ask the majority in Africa whether to keep the beloved Die Stem or just go for Nkosi Sikeli the decision would be obvious
@@Zulu.Warrior come on it's not that bad. Plus, it's about reconciliation and inclusion. The current anthem has 5 languages, this has 1. Or maybe 3? I'm not sure lol. Plus, this is for all of Africa.
Deeply moved, yet immensely proud to have so many friends in the Rainbow Country I remember Tata Madiba, who made such a miracle happen. Nkosi Sikelele Africa!!
I remember singing this anthem years ago in my Kenyan high school in solidarity with the blacks in south africa. I cry everytime I hear the original version ........ a very powerful anthem
I am 42 yr old African American school teacher..and Im truly touched by such a beautiful national anthem..such a profound sound and rich lyrics..of course becuz of slavery ancestry can be hard to trace back to beloved Africa..my only ancestry I can trace is my father's side his father was African American but his mother was African American / Puerto Rican history (Philly, PA) Nelson-Allen the Allen side possibly related to Richard Allen who founded the A.M.E. Church in America...my mothers side both parents were African American from Eastern Shore of Virginia my grandfather's mother was partly Indian - Blackfoot (Eastern Shore of Virginia)
Prince LOUSSALA. It is indeed a great prayer. My suggestion: all African countries incorporate this prayer in all our Hymnals (of all denominations). It should be translated and sung in all our languages in exactly the way it's sung here in this video; just like we normally sing hymns in our Church congregations. Wouldn't it be great when it is the opening song for ALL our official African co-operational and regional meetings (SADEC; EAC; ECOWAS; AU; etc)? With accompanying instruments, every delegate sings in their own language, yet with the same melody from start to finish. We don't need to wait for one country called: United States of Africa. We can start as from today to get this music score, translate it in our various national languages (including our tribal languages), and ensure all our respective national music departments (Military, Police, etc) can play the instruments and sing this version per excellence. It can be taught (in any vernacular) in all our nursery and primary schools as "The African Anthem". It can be used as opening song in all our international African Sports, Conventions, Business, or any special events or assemblies. I believe it will be great.

J'aime beaucoup ce chant, pourquoi je l'ignore. à travers ce chant, l'on voit que l'africain et plus précisément le sus africain a souffert. Cette chanson fend l'âme. GOD bless AFRICA
YES, GOD YAHWEH BLESS SOUTH AFRICA. I STILL REMEMBER MY FIRST TIME IN SOUTH AFRICA WORKING AS VOLUNTEER 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP AND AFRICA CONECTION OF JMM! THANKS, O MERCIFUL GOD YESSUAH FOR BLESS ME IN RSA.
What a spirit-filled song born out of Africa. God Bless South Africa, God bless Africa. May 'God bless our World' and give her peace and freedom as he did to South Africa. 'Come Spirit, come Spirit, Come Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit!' 'Let it be so, Let it be so, Forever let it be so!'
The song embodies collective aspirations of Africans to free themselves from slavery in all its manifestations and build a future firmly anchored on shared prosperity and fully realization of rights and freedoms
MAJESTIC! Whenever I hear those BASSES and TENORS belt this out, I get teary-eyed! Such a beautiful prayer for any nation, sung to an old Welsh tune...Thanks for uploading this version!
what a beautiful lyric fortunate I don't understand the language but am trying to see if my music people in Lagos,nigeria can translate it for us, God bless Africa !.
Fr Huddleston was a great man of God indeed, his humility and selflessness has always inspired South Africans during difficult times...GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN R.I.P. SIR.and thank you Peter.
I always wondered - what do people stand to gain from hate? Does it make anyone's life better, does it solve any of the economic problems people have? In the end- what point is there. I think we all gain so much more by living and working with each other, cooperating with one another...not killing
@@ericsteele6941 that version is the national anthem, which mixes Die Stem and Nkosi Sikelel, This one is just Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika, as it's original form as a church hymn. Although I must say, hearing both Die Stem Van Suid Afrika and Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika together is truly a whole other level of majesty, especially when both are used in full.
A wonderful rendition of the many versions of this GREAT Anthem! Whenever I want to go back to South Africa emotionally and conquer I listen to and view this version. It brings the best out of me. Indeed, Klatzow's version is the best!Alfred Msezane
What a great man!!! I would be proud to have Madiba as my fellow compatriot!!! My deepest respect and condolences to all South Africans! May God Bless you all to follow Madiba's steps and carry his legacy forth! Madiba lives through his legacy to SA and the world. RIP Dear Mr. Mandela.
Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrica (God bless Africa) - hymn originally composed by Enoch Sontonga in 1897. Sung by Imilonji Kantu Choral Society, Cape Town Symphony Orchestra conducted by Peter Klatzow
I only wish it had sorted out this way but I really do fear for s South Africa, my wife and I spent many a happy year there but alas no longer do we wish to go there< God rest Nelson without doubt the greatest man to live
I love this mainly because South Africa is for all those who lives in it(Black&white). Come on South Africans let's live and love each other, let's Marry White and Black and teach each other Cultures of our forefathers in order to eradicate apartheid
Absolutely beautiful. Very very touching. Though I don't understand the words but it always makes me cry. Sounds like a prayer. Very emotional. Well done.
This past Monday evening the choir I'm in attended another choir concert to help sing three pieces ( we are a Canadian folk choir) and to Honour Nelson Mandela it was decided the evening before that they would like to sing the National Anthem during the concert. Nobody had practiced but the main choir had learned it a little while ago. It was beautifully sung by the choirs and the audience in the little Centretown United Church in Ottawa, Ontario. Just beautiful to hear it.
