    Originally sung by men from Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) who rode the train into South Africa to work in the mines. You can hear the steam train in the words.

  • I remeber the rugby world ccup back in 1994 and the shivers down the spine when the stadium sang this song...

    No shivers with that rubbish by Shakira, in who knows what language! SA world cup and SA song, no Shakira!

  • @MBert88 1995

  • THIS should have been the offical antheam for the World Cup, NOT Shakira!!!!!!!

  • @bobfari AGREED! this is the song that bring africans together! :D ! !

  • @bobfari i know mate =/ or at least k'naan's songs, shakira can smd tbh

  • @FieryK0 both k'naan and shakira were good songs but they were big corporate songs which is not a tradition african song. ther songs r lik this, cultural and fully of history. somting lik this shud def hav been the world cup anthem 2010

  • @bobfari

    Oh well, I'm glad that people all over the world seem to embrace Waving Flag and Shakira was completely forgotten.

  • @bobfari AGREED MATE. WHAT AN AMAZING SONG

  • @bobfari ok..get over it...
