Eddy Grant and Kurt Darren - Gimme Hope Jo'anna

[EJulieWilliams]

Thank God Apartheid's gone. Now they need to deal with other problems ... and I hope they get them under control.

[suki2011]

[receipt22]

[jb55101]

[vertxxgg]

long live zionism afrikanervolk and cuba free of comunism

[marimbadearco]

@vertxxgg

Dear right winger:

guess you forgot how Israeli govt collaborated with S. African secret police and armed forces generally, as did several "freedom lovers" of the right wing persuasion Cubans not on the island.

[vertxxgg]

@marimbadearco All i can say bru is Eddie n kurt both are for freedom and let zion peoples free of psicopathic cuban communists- Africa is for afrikan peoples spiritually free and not red stalinist dictators

[weekeanwai]

Where to get that hat?

[cheyanqui]

Brett Hull sure can carry a tune ;)

[88motho]

This song l just like it,please Joanna give hope for a better South Africa, one nation,one love.

[athull08]

Kurt seems like a good singer, but needs to turn the volume up

[siasabora]

song pumps me up

[witkind01]

Miss South Africa and my peeps. Stay cool brothers and sisters. Love and peace.

[mslandie1]

Now the white mothers fear the rape of another daughter. Where is our hope now?

[libertyordeaf]

@mslandie1 Interesting that you're only concerned with white daughters being raped, or think that black daughters don't.

[LloydChristmas777]

@libertyordeaf, reality checks always welcomed.

[deanlad27]

@mslandie1 fuck this white/black shit its 2010 this song gives me fucking hope as one one race not one colour.

Gimme hope Joanna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[miko180285]

[Parisflower76]

Glad Jo'anna gave in to the pressure and now treats everyone in South Africa equally!

[megacasper100]

[zaebantip]

joanna=johannesburg

[roneluys]

Where the hell is Joanna when you need her????

[ProudRedneck87]

who is joana

[VERGIS92]

@ProudRedneck87  it's South Africa

[lenaakramer]

@ProudRedneck87 it's JOHANNESBURG, you know apartheid? google it ;)

[mtafiti]

You know what makes me proud? The fact that most of our fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters were killed in the struggle. Be it in SA or Angola, We did it. There is no place you can't go to now, in Nairobi we were restricted to River road, but now. We have hope!

[scoobydoo1178]

god bless nelson mandela,!!!!!!!!

may his word live on, we all breath the same air, we all bleed the same colour blood no matter what our skin colour. down with racism.

music knows no colour it just knows Love and not Hate,

[chefidel]

FUCK RACISM & FUCK ZIONISM

[flatflyeroz]

Music knows no colour or race... close your eyes and listen!!!! Music live forever!!

[deanlad27]

1 last thing lol

"cant you see that the tide is turning?"

[deanlad27]

BTW this song makes me proud to see black and white unite.

[Shovelware]

White man really cant dance.....

[lukap20]

you're right, even though I'm white (maybe because of that) :D

[Blackdragonmedia27]

So what if they cant dance? I think they really appreciate cultural diversity and that's what matters. I cant say the same for many African Americans!!

[Shovelware]

Appreciat ciltural diversity? Are you some kind of white nigger?

[deanlad27]

wow

[appel735]

Stop being racist all of u!! i am sick off people clinging 2 d past! the past is done , the past we r making now is what counts! so plz africans ,eurpeans ,indians ,coloureds etc STOP being racist and let us just stand as one South Africa! Cause maybe then we will truly be the best da world has ever seen! We new generation dont even know da past and live in unity y cant our elders not forget! Viva South Africa , Viva Bokke ,Viva Bafana Viva Proteas! Together one nation!!!

[Shovelware]

Dude: The past is NOT done. It is the past and the present that makes the future. Do not blame black people (if ur black or not) for being like this in the present time since they really got hurted bye white people for many many many years. They have the right to be so, it is the white mans fault that made them like this now. Again: It is the past and the present that makes the future.

[deanlad27]

stop clinging onto the past and then maybe racism can be forgotten.

im 29 and was brought up on this music by white very british parents i was about 7 when my dad brought me my 1st eddy grant album.

racism is nothing to do with me or my generation so enjoy the music dude coz its fucking great BROTHER.

[Shovelware]

Racisme has nothing to do with music, unless u use lyrics that endoures racism.

It is the white mans fault that black people now are angry on their new generation.

[Derekfortuinschannel]

rivers of blood

[lamb1501]

Why don't don't you white folk stop feeling so sorry for yourselves and get over it?

[kamikazekonijn]

Yea, all those schools and hospitals... I feel so sorry... even the Bantu education of then was better than what the education system of now is becomming, atleast they could get educaiton int heir home language!

[simplezimbo]

hey lamb, u must understand, music is music, if u look at the song, a black man sings and kurt joins in, why are people so angry at each other. those of us left in zimbabwe have learned to get on, it is government that cause the problems. the other thing is, why should i be punished for something that my ansestors did, if retribution for past issues are to be bought up then why are the tribes not involved in wars. tribal wars were worse than what the whites did!!!!!

[deanlad27]

why should i be punished for something that my ansestors did

well said

;ove this song more than i ever did

song of hope

[kamikazekonijn]

Well you have your country. And now its turned to shit. And this song can be sang again, but now with 'she got a system called affirmative action'.

[lamb1501]

What a racist son of a bitch you are. !!!!!!SA does not need people like you!!!!!!!

[kamikazekonijn]

And the systematic murdering of white farmers and young whites who can't get jobs because of AA and BEE shit isn't racist?

[stelladog2006]

here here it needs that eugine bloke and his movement to sort the problems out

[crazeechiq]

why should anyone give a crap abt them wen they killed and tortured our ancestors for OUR own land. for all we care, they can go fuck themselves in the gutters

[crazeechiq]

s/a is a beautiful country

[reddragon80mkd]

I truly hope that the world leaders and presidents do understand that this song was meant for all of them, if they think that they have the power to destroy their nations. This song is not just for the apartheid......

give us hope ....

[chin2buoy]

Ho Gimme hope joanna
