@JamesTilsley1 Another reason is that the first two parts are quite challenging to pronounce. Indigenous African languages have typical click cosonants.
Man, the South African anthem is awesome and inspiring.
The first time I heard it was before the RWC final 1995. Being from a country with a difficult history, I found that moment quite emotional. It still sends shivers down my spine... Let's suffer inhumanity and celebrate humanity together

@mchachaabl there is a story behind this. But 'triple star' pretty much means to the the 3 main Islands that make up nz. The North Island, South Island and the 3rd-Stewart Island.
I'm an Aussie, the lyrics for both anthems are so meaningful and passionate. As much as i love my country and everything in it, i think we need a better anthem.
Funny how the crowd gets alot louder for the english/africaans part of the SA anthem, says someting about the typical springbok fan cough*white*cough
