  • Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika and Hatikvah, two most beautiful national anthems in the world, imho.

  • I visited S.A. in 1993 , ... it was an amazng adventure . We stayed in Durban , and traveled all over . I loved being there ! Would go back today if I could ! We saw a lot of good ,as well as bad . However , that is the case with sinful people , the world over ! Mankind will never solve the problems of the world , history has proven it .

  • Excellent national anthem!! In fact it is definitely one of the best anthems of all time. Well done South Africa and I hope that one day you can come over the divisions that taint your nation and truly be a rainbow nation : )

  • You have no idea how much I want to visit South Africa.

  • furthermore, who is the moron putting the old transvaal flag on this page? the old south africa is dead and buried, get over it.

  • i don't miss south africa. bad things happened in the past but even worse things happen now. i miss the familiarity of the country but i'm happy in germany. here everything works, ALL are equal here and the government really cares for the people. not the case in SA. the apartheid government oppressed people and the anc goverment does the same only it's called affirmative action and black empowerment; more people are murdered in a day now than in the entire existence of apartheid. i hate sa.

  • God bless africa 

  • I could see whoever who was making the video in the car rear window.....with the camera taking up their face. I like this song, however i think that the actual S.African anthem sounds better. Just me. Still beautiful, though!

  • does anyone know who this is preformed by or what version this is. its beautiful

  • Comment removed

  • definitely NOT the BEST rendition...

  • tres belle chanson l hymne sud africain.

  • This is the best rendition I have heard.

  • sempre pude aferir o hino da africa , com elos de uniao aos meus estados positivos de ensejar um mudança massiva na conjctura social afrikana.

  • I've got some huge goosebumps all over my body from this.

  • Thanks for bringing back one of my best memories!

  • That is really a beautiful anthem !!

  • I am 100 % ALL BLACK, nevertheless I pay respect for the Springboks, even though they cheated us 1997 - CU 2011 .... nice country anyway ... BIKO, BIko, Biko

  • very beutiful place and song nothing like africka

  • One of the most beautiful places in the whole world!

  • I'm from America. I'm white. That shouldn't matter but it seems important to help depict this song in the proper transcendent light.

    This song is incredibly beautiful. If you can't feel this, then you must be dead inside.

    Amen! God Bless Africa and all his children of any color and nation!

  • Desde España: God Bless South Africa!

  • I really love this anthem. God Bless South Africa!

    Greetings from Canada

  • There is no version,the official SA anthem must contain the five languages.That is what makes SA the most unique country on the planet.

  • this is the version we learned in school

  • Why don't you ask the group that sings this song why they only did half of the anthem. But it probabely has nothing to do with what you are saying. Don't make a fuss out of nothing.

    And this is a beautiful version!

  • @MsZindle Simple answer... this isnt the national anthem, this is Nkosi Sikeleli Afrika- the hymn. It was a song before it was made part of the South African National anthem [- only the first stanza is used in the anthem anyway,and repeated then in Sesotho aswell ^^

  • mate this isnt the anthem, its in the anthem but the song itslef isnt the anthem. the national anthem is still the same with the afrikaans and english

  • well nobody said this was the national anthem..

    it is written "nkosi sikelel iAfrika" ..

    peace

  • @Janvhi000 This may miss the Afrikaans and English part, but then someone may also try to sing this anthem only in English or Afrikaans. South Africa has 11 official languages and all are legitimate, including English and Afrikaans, of course, and the whites of South Africa shall have pride in their country, which is South Africa. It's a beautiful video and a beautiful anthem.

  • @leprodespro That is not the answer. We all know bad things have happened under white rule in the whole African Continent. We can't change the past, we can only try to make a better future. What you are saying is exactly what many of us white people have said in the past and sadly some still do to this day. But now we have to try and work together, not against each other. I love the African continent, it is beautiful and lets try to keep it that way, together let us make it a better place!PEACE

  • @leprodespro oh and you can't swear and than say God Bless Africa! So please don't use bad language on my page in the future? Thank you and may God really bless Africa!

  • @leprodespro

    try to have some nuance friend, people won't take you serious like this.

  • @leprodespro My brother!you should forgive, they are now our brother, Mandela didn't fight for hate but love. From Cameroon please forgive!

    Nkosi sikelel iAfrika

  • @Janvhi000 -- this is the original version dummy

  • Beautiful.

  • Imádom....... :)

  • Well Done Nicole. You've made a beautiful film. you showed so many beautiful scenes and something as ordinary (when you live there) as a weaver bird weaving it's nest is now so exotic and beautiful and making my heart ache a bit.

    And the music, wonderful. WOW. love your film

  • watcha

  • i live in portugal now...but my heart will always be with south africa...proud to be south african...

    every time i see videos from SA the tears starts to show....i miss you a lot my land

  • That`s an anthem one becomes jealous of! I know what I`m writing about, I`m swiss.

  • god bless africa.x

  • such a beautifull melody line. and when the harmonies come in...wow. just stunning!

  • i love this song. i learned the lyrics.

  • i was in south africa 20 days before.i felt in love with this country.

  • that's a amaziging!!

  • live up Transkei

  • thats why people of U.S dont know nothing. You guys want to take the continent, but we ll resit till d end.!

    I am american, from south america, from Brazil!!!

    You people can still think that you own the continent. Just dont forget the visa to come to the real paradise country. otherwise they ll send you back home!

    VIVA O BRASIL

  • world's best anthem

  • I will get an A because of this video!

  • Beautiful! GBSA!

  • south africa is a good place man white ppl in england should visit it and see how africa is blessed wit a gift man

  • look what happened last time white ppl entered south africa.....

    One should always protect a gift, not expose it to just anybody.

  • um assuming across the board that white people are so is in itself racist.

  • on the contrary, I'm only talking about colonialists, not white people in general. I thought it was a bit obvious myself.

  • not it is not obvious as you wrote ¨last time white ppl...¨, meaning when white people entered, not white people as colonialists, but white people in general.

  • yes, ok, catonthemat30060, i think it's more than clear now that i was only talking about colonialists. Most of my friends are actually white, and agree with me on the colonialism issue.

    Let's just enjoy this vid, ok?

  • lighten up. white people did colonize africa, and saying this truth is not an attack on white people, of which i am one. don't be so defensive.

  • South Africa is my homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • so beautiful

  • What a beautiful video! I love my country SO much!!

  • I love this anthem--I love the sound of these beautiful African voices. Thank you, thank you for posting.

  • This is the best choir version.

    Congratulations, ShelbyDucote, for such an experience. I would trade my choir any time!

    God bless South Africa and greetings from Germany!

  • this one is for thw whole Mama Africa realy love this song.

  • I am an African American from the United states and while in school i learned this song i was then in the 6th grade and now i am a college freshman this is probally 1 of the only songs me and my sister remember from our time at school cause i still walk around singing it can someone tell me what is the meaning of the song

  • arguably the best anthem in the world.

    nkosi sikeleli afrika

    god bless africa.

    don't know the rest

    hotep niggas

    peace to the gods

  • Yes it is the first half of the South African National Anthem. The first part is in isiXhosa and means the following:

    God bless Africa,

    Let its Horn (i.e. spirit) rise,

    Hear also our prayers,

    God Bless us, her (Africa's) family

    Come Spirit

    Bless God Bless

    Come Holy Spirit

    God bless us her family

  • Definitely high up there, but national pride gets in the way of it reaching number one for me.

  • DIE STEM is a much better song!

  • my choir is singing this song!

  • When I graduate from my Nursing studies, I'm going to South Africa to work there

  • This the best !

    PROUDLY SOUTH AFRiCAN !

  • I've been to south africa a few days ago

    it's a wonderfull county

  • Belo país! Tão bonito quanto o Brasil!

    Beatiful Country! It is as beautiful as Brazil! I m Brzilian! heh

  • SOUTH AFRICA RULEZ!!!!

  • Why is Africa in the blood of all that have lived there as well as anyone who was born there? maybe because, Africa is our ancestoral home -not kust Black, but ALL are children of Mother Africa~!!

  • were doing this for concert

  • I like this music. It's beautiful, for me.

  • what a wonderful song...

  • I love this anthem!

    most beatiful anthem of the world

  • Agreed!

  • i had a dream about this song before i woke up today.

  • i live in germany....

    but i have to say: afrika is the most beautiful continent in the world. all the beautiful animals!!!

    love it!!

  • Baie mooi video van julle geweldige land!

    Ik haat rassisme, en al mensen wat zig nie gedrage nie!

  • y must people hate. racism is destroying or already has destroyed parts of africa. zimbabwe which used to be beutiful is not anymore because of unnessecary hatred.

  • YOU could show africa as a safari and show europe or america as the land of smart people..that `s fine today but maybe one day africans will call death on all those tourists of africa safaris

  • I travelled in South Africa 2000, loved countryside, wildlife and the people - especially the blacks are unbelievable! GOD bless all Africans.

    Christian

  • I am english actually im from the town where rugby was invented (rugby) and I think the springboks where freaking awesome, and the country is more beautiful than their rugby. Well done South Africa!

  • Thank You the BOKS!!!! You have made me so proud!!I coudn't stop crying of joy after the match!! Thank you soooo much, You have been great during all the competition!!See you in 4 years against the Blacks!! =)

  • I am french but I will sing this anthem with my hand on my heart on saturday night!!

    Go Springboks, you deserve to win!!

    Beautiful Anthem =)

  • I am Nauruan with african blood i too will have my right hand on my heart and sing God bless Africa - Go Bok's

  • Why ?

  • Pas oublier la deuxième partie en Afrique du Sud.

  • Pendant des annes vous avez oubliez de traiter les noirs en afrique du sud comme des etre humains et maintenat vous voulez nous faire chier parcequ' on ne chante pas l hymn national en afrikaans??? FAITES TRES ATTENTION A CE QUE VOUS DITES. VOUS AVEZ LA CHANCE QUE L ON EST PAS EN TRAIN DE VOUS BRULER VIVANS MAINTENANT QUE L' ON A LE POUVOIR.

  • Vous avez chanté la partie en afrikaans ?

  • Oui, bien sur, j'ai tout appris par coeur pour povoir chanter les quatres couplets.

    Je ne fais pas de discrimination.J'adore l'Afrique du Sud en autre pour sa diversité. Pourquoi?

  • d'acord je suis sud africaine et je crois que c'est meilleure pays dans le monde :]

  • Bonjour, tu viend de Afrique du Sud, mais moi ausi... Pourqoui tu parle Français??? Je suis un etudian de exchange à Belgique...

  • vraiment!? cool (: je parle francais car je apprends le langue dans mon college. Moi aussi hey je suis une etudiante mais j'habite aux unis arabes emirats

  • Chouette, quand t'était habit en Afrique du Sud, tu habit oû en fait? Et tu émmigre à unis arabes emirates quand. Désolé pour mon ecrire, c'est pas vraiment bien!!! lol

  • i am from africa myself and it used to be so beutiful until racism between the whits an blacks ripped the place to shreds

  • black people are not racist only amongst themselves, observe and learn they love and worship us

  • glorias ao nome do Senhor Jesus, Deus seja louvado por todas as naçoes, aleluiasssssssssssssssss

  • I know there still is, but also between English speaking white people and Afrikaans speaking white people! But when I was there, I only noticed some of the apartheid when I was in the towns, not when I was in my Xhosa community Ntabethemba, EC. I was the only white person there, I never felt any sort of discrimination or resentment, The Xhosa people were all very nice to me, I love them!

  • wat part did yu visit

  • I wish it was pronounciation but I also think that many people from all race groups still have a lot of hatred for each other. Apartheid is still alive and well but it isn't in the law books. I also mean black on white, white on black

  • my black friends dont know anything about racism,they are so confused West indies hate Africans and vice versa!!!!! many blacks are ready to date whites than the other way around?

  • You probably live in America.

  • An observation: white people hardly make an effort to sing the first half and all sing the last. Black people all sing the first half and not the las. For a united country there is still a lot of hatred

  • I don't really know wether that is true or not, but Maybe there is a really simple explanation: when I was volunteering in South Africa at Primary schools in Local communities, they were teaching the children the whole national anthem, the black children, in this case Xhosa children, were just real good at the first half because the first part is in isiXhosa and I believe isiSotho, but they were have a difficult time pronouncing the English and Afrikaans! So maybe that is just it!,

  • The QUEEN HAS ARRIVE. AFRICA BACK TO TAKE WHAT'S RIGHTFULY HER'S... YOU'VE FOUGHT TO SEPERATE HER NATION BUT SHE WOULD NOT ALLOW IT. I'VE GIVEN YOU A SHOT AT THE APPLE, NOW SIT BACK AND WATCH HER IN ACTION.............
