South African National Anthem 8.16.08

[mrcalarsenal]

I'm English and whenever this anthem is played it gives me goosebumps - shows just how far the nation of South Africa has come.

[invader1ify]

hearing this makes me forget about the crime, corruption and poverty!!! god bless africa

[elcamo1990]

best anthem in the world, bokke!

[dhksrksalem]

[kurtking1991]

i wonder who sing that

[izzyvulaca]

most beautiful anthem i've ever heard!

[lettopetto]

We are all one. Fuck racism! Best of luck to South Africa the Rainbow Nation. Greetings from Sweden.

[Southaustraliahill]

I'm a proud SouthAfrican after hearing this... such unity in this song

[Lousypenguin]

Great anthem for the ANC Kaffirs. They sing it before they commence the mass rape and murder of white south africans.

[Southaustraliahill]

@Lousypenguin are you south african?

[Lousypenguin]

@Lousypenguin My father is South African so that obviously makes me half South African. I'm so ashamed of what has become of my country.Over 50% unemployment, highest rape in the world, white genocide, ANC corruption. A president who has little or no formal education who thinks having a shower after sex will stop HIV and the ANC youth leader who's another uneducated moron who sings Kill the boer when he never fought against Apartheid in the first place. US whites built the fucking country.

[vivascargill]

@Lousypenguin I hear you-but think what the real source of the problem is--the IMF globalization--I understand the temptation is to go for the nearest villain but if you look around the world the same thing is happening because of social arrangements dictated out ofWashington London etc- this guy is talking nonsense but Mandela was a cultivated and generous soul--and God forgive us--the same thing would have happened--I suspect it might even have happened with a white regime

[elcamo1990]

@vivascargill truer words I am yet to hear. let us rally behind our nation, white black or brown, we are south africans

[manuellandjoli]

Tout simplement beau et émouvant. Oh God, bless Africa

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

ilik congo for deeseme  end belguim

[MsBuggeroff]

This anthem sounds so much better sang by black people, somehow white men seem to have such weedy voices in comparison.

[ILuvOmarionG]

@MsBuggeroff Let them sing it man, it's their country too.

[MsBuggeroff]

@ILuvOmarionG You're quite right. x

[ILuvOmarionG]

@MsBuggeroff lol :)

[pureprotea1]

ONS VIR JOU SUID- AFRIKA!!!!!

[BSIUebersetzungen]

Das ist wohl mit die schönste Nationalhymne, die ich je sprachlich und musikalisch gehört habe. Es ist die Einzige, die 5 Sprachen innerhalb eines Liede oder einer Nationalhymne vereinigt auf eine wundervolle Art mit wundervollen lyrics und dann auch noch mehrstimmig. Jetzt weiß ich gar nicht mehr, wem ich Daumen drücken soll beim Worldcup in Southafrica. Aber ich drücke in dieser Reihenfolge als Übersetzungsbüro. Keep my fingers crossed for Ghana, danach DeutSCHLAND und danach Niederlande.

[hcdbus]

Coming from a kiwi, the South African anthem is without a doubt the most beautiful anthem in the world

[teddythefrency]

Que desiri lo succès ad aqueste gran país e a tots los Sud Africans que siin deu Soccer o deu Rugby que siin de totas originas I wish the best to this beautiful and for all South Africans from all origins, beautiful hymn in 11 languages.

They have a brillant rugby team and I think they'll have in tne future too a brillant soccer team.

[best1will]

hay uno que no canta el himno en la parte de zulu (blanco era) en el ingles si lo cantaba

[rapid37]

most beautiful anthem of the world. greetings from Turkey.

[mbokani345]

sweden england US china DRCongo areone of the best to me but s africa tops them all

[razcaz1]

South Africa is South Africa..a beautiful country, but are they trying to find their identity through so many different harmonies ?!? Surely a National Anthem is good enough in passion.

[MrSpringbok07]

'N baie suksesvolle interpretasie van die volkslied

[juanpe8512]

This was the last tri-nations for Percy montgomery, His jersey is different than the others players

[Jayps87]

BOKKE!!!!

[vinsonyuk]

Why is there a guy in an All Blacks shirt singing along at 1:06?

[themaddestfella]

during isolation alot of black south africans supported the all blacks. although he is a south african and sings the anthem he still supports the all blacks

[trina252]

Because is the greatest Anthem in the world and even our opponets sing along.

Cheers mate!

[standaway1]

yes it is a very nice anthem i can see NZ's anthem was made by some idiotic old pom

[UphyXx]

@vinsonyuk to show respect?

[viwe7]

die bokke!!!!

[afroheat]

The best national athem ever multiculurel

zimbabwe needs that kind to would also sound good

[livyz02]

Used to be, but was changed a few yrs back

[afroheat]

what do you mean used to be

[livyz02]

Since Zim independant in 1980, "Ishe komborera Africa (in Shona) was our national anthem too, which I really loved, We sang it in school assemblies and national functions etc. it was then changed to "simudzai mureza weZimbabwe" in the early 90's I think. funny enough half the population do not know the word of this "new" anthem but everyone knows Ishe komborerai Africa.

[Donny6678]

all blacks will beat south africa

[KiwiBasher]

Ha...ha...ha! Yeah right.

[Donny6678]

NZ have the best winning rate ever.

[KiwiBasher]

Keep talking island monkey. That little statistic is going to change irrevocably in the next couple of seasons.

[Donny6678]

hahahaha!!!!

bloody rockspider, you know nz is the best rugby team ever. this year theyre just havng a bad season, remember All Blacks have WON last 4 tri nations!! SA definately have some proving to do.

AB's have won 9 tri nations, sa=2 aus=2

[Blitzbok]

New Zealanders forget that South Africa have had the greater dominance over rugby. Over the past one 110 years the Boks come out on top. 96-97 NZ were on top. 97-99 SA, 99-00 AUS, 01 NZ, 02-03 ENG, 04 SA, 05 NZ (only just!), 06 NZ, 07 SA, 08 NZ, 09 SA. They havent had it all their way. Despite what they say.

[WesternForce1989]

no but overall they are the best team in the world, South Africa are the best at the moment but don't think New Zealand wont come back with a vengeance

[marcellin20a]

how could you say South Africa has had the most dominance 110 years when SAF were excluded from world rugby till 1994 yet I dont think south afirca has been playing international rugby dating back that long!. The only nation that's has been playing SAF that long has been NZ (1921). If you look at head to head clashes both test and in world cups played between each other , Trinations, you will see that nz has it over South africa. South Africa dominate nz in term of world cups they hold.

[marcellin20a]

however south africa have had it over nz this year and proved that they are worthy cup holders. If they can repeat this next year and 2011, then that can be considered rugby dominance

[Blitzbok]

New Zealand's dominance has been over the last ten or so years. South Africa have been playing since 1891, we've been playing all the big teams from then. In fact our first test was against the British Isles! Right up until 1992 South Africa had the better of every nation on Earth. If you dont want to believe it from me, then go look for yourself.

[marcellin20a]

better than every nation on earth? yet you have forgotten your history against NZ. Domination by definition means continually beating ALL (including nz) rugby nation for a long period of time. If south africa has dominance then why is their winning ratio or percentage lower than NZ? by which includes win loss record since the very first game.History states SAF have only won 42% of there games against nz and 48% against the british irish lions,58% against England and Australia and 55% for France

[Blitzbok]

New Zealands record over South Africa only improved over the last 10/12 years, that's why their record edges ours. For all the time before then SA had the better win ratio over every other nation on Earth, that's fact. If in doubt, re-read what I've written. There are no stats to back up what you are saying. SA have had the greater dominance over rugby, fact.

[marcellin20a]

lol. where are you getting your stats from if you have any instead of just stating that "SA had the better win ratio over every other nation on Earth". Have you ever tried whats stated in the official IRB and South Rugby Union websites?...not even looking on Wiki.Google up "South Africa national rugby union team" for starters and look at that table at the bottom which states your so called dominance over the past 110 years.

[marcellin20a]

this stat is not dominance. Dominance over nations should be above 70%

[Blitzbok]

Right up until readmission, 1992, SA had the better win ratio over every test nation on the planet. That is from the years 1891 to 1992. From 1996 to 2009 New Zealand had the better record against SA, the only team to achieve that. You are pointing to OVERALL stats. 1891-1995 = more years than 1996-2009. I cant make this any clearer.I get the impression that you dont want to acknowledge facts.

[marcellin20a]

lol.Ive acknowledge the facts and Ive replied in response to you first 110 year dominance comment. I pointed out OVERALL stats because you said South Africa had a 110 year dominance meaning they held dominance right up to 2001. This isn't the case. South Africas dominance over NZ ended in back in 1981 not in the past 10/12 years as you stated therefore your argument for dominance over every test playing nation including nz for over 100 years or so isnt true.

[Blitzbok]

You're very confused. I never said anything like what you are saying. I pointed out that SA's dominance ended in 96, with 92 being the start of a downward curve. I made that clear in my last post and havent deviated from that at any point in time.

[marcellin20a]

The way you use the term 'dominance' just doesnt reflect the history of south African rugby before the pro era which is what Im trying to point out to you.

[razvansiposbruno]

South Africa to win Tri Nations ! Best wishes from Romania !

[alexmagnus1]

What's interesting is that they all know the anthem :) I don't know i I'd take my time to learn an anthem which is sung in 5 languages:). But a nice anthem it is!

[MegaMusman]

I am pakistani and i like south africa. what a great country

[chundrigm]

yarr tum national anthums hi dekhtay rehtay ho meri tarha I think LOLZ

[Sindhi78]

[mahajangajalman]

19-0 pour les blacks lol!

[icecold158]

i m from Namibia but i feel so part of south africa .......lov the boks as well

[originalscreamingkid]

Song always gives me goose bumps ! Especialy when everyones singing it.

[thegreatnative]

I believe this game was won by the ALL BLACKS, 19 - 0 Lol

[KiwiBasher]

I believe NZ just got their arses handed to them in the last two test matches. Ha...ha...ha!

[Blitzbok]

So it's four from four. Not bad, scoring tries too! So much for boring, dinsaur rugby. I'd have to say the Boks are yet again the most multi-faceted team in the world.

[GCA333]

They were destrpyed by the Lions in the 3rd test, but won the first 2, so what can be said.

Wales first, bu SA always second!

[Blitzbok]

Wales? They are a long way down the world rankings. They do too much dancing behind the gainline.

[GCA333]

Yes, they are, the '09 Six Nations did that to them. I can only hope the team is prepared for the Autumn Internationals.

Congratulations to SA on their Tri Nations wins.

[cocopop999]

They were playing like the shittest team

[GCA333]

The Lions played terrible for most of the first. O'Gara screwed the Lions in the second.

[TheREALJudgeJUDY]

cool

[Holderman32]

A beautiful rendition,

a country very close to my heart

becuase I woked for a South African bank for 8 years the best, and also

I had an ancestor fall in Battle

[andrew4950]

OMG why is that retard singing the bokks anthem in an all black jersey lol,you just dont do that!

[mendizim]

what a chop ha ha ha ha

[heuf68]

I thought it was Peter the Villiers haha

[drmaligno1]

i dig the dude in the all black jersey singing the anthem.... lol

[WesternForce1989]

that guy at 1:10 is clearly confused

[Revern]

i agree, ashantilongislant the black movement has come!

[Hayes1916]

Am I missing something? Half of this national anthem is in "white" languages, Afrikaans and English. Kill whitey indeed :/

[zimbos88]

its a showing of solidarity and incorparation of all the races of the nation. its unity......something we lack a lot of nowdays.

[elcamo1990]

@zimbos88 the anc is to blame, thay create their own laws irrespective of inequality,

this from a black man.

[650ballinwhiteboy]

@elcamo1990 you are so right

[TomAraya23]

fukn cape colored is really pissed about sumin when he was singin die stem

piece of shite if u ask me fukn move on.

but thnx for the video thou

[theocpt]

That "all black" fan is nothing but a disgruntled cape colored who is still stuck in the old days when they cheered the opposing team. Pathetic if you ask me.

[utuberlol]

i loved that all blacks fan singing away at this !

[utuberlol]

wtf! steyn is way better than jacobs! what is this he wasnt even selected for the world cup or anything.

[unclesam21]

whinging anyone
