Consider the man and his vision, Nelson Mandela and the vision to unite the people of South Africa which this anthem does so well. Such feeling and depth!
It is one of my favorite anthems and I have learned it word for word!
You really have no understanding of being a true South African and African ! this anthem represents the prayer of Africa and the triumph of Freedom over the EVIL of apartheid. The fact that this anthem is coupled with die stem .. it is not suppose to be a wonderful musical fit. It shows the willingness of a giant of a nation to put aside their righteous hatred to instead embrace togetherness and forgiveness. A beautiful anthem I am PROUD to represent a love for my Country and people.
Even though the idea for a combined national anthem is good,it doesnt work.I like the english version of Die Stem better because unlike Nkosi Sikeleli, which is an anthem for the whole of Africa,"The Call"actually is written for South Africa itself.And also unlike the Afrikaans version(which includes"Dedicated and true as Afrikaners")is not racially based,but is a national anthem which represents all South Africans patriotism towards their country,no matter what creed or colour

Terrible anthem, so modern and uncombinable with the beautiful Die Stem.

@Passion4SouthAfrica
My opinion is the only one that matters! ( sniker)
The SA anthem is all that Passion said it is and so much more, a shining example for all of us everywhere!
It blends perfectly with Die Stem as do the people of SA.
It is people like Passion that will help South Africa heal!
BTW great video!
