This song brought the fight against apartheid directly to the South African regime . It raised awareness that in turn put pressure on the governments of the World to stand up AGAINST South Africa's brutal rule. Back then we had freedom of speech on the airwaves. Not so today. A similar song "Freedom for Palestine" was created and performed by South African musicians in support of their fellow human beings in Palestine. Do you think this song got airplay? NOPE... worldunitedmusicDOTblogspotDOTcom

@zambonitron I'm pretty sure is Teddy Pendergast....4:49 for sure is Jackson Browne. The dude at 5:39 has to be a younger Peter Gabriel.

Great song. Too much Ruben Blades and not enough Peter garrett's voice.

Loved this song the minute I heard it. This was needed to educate the public and throw light on the evil apartheid.
