UB40 - Sing our own song (Free Mandela Concert)

[RainPoetry]

Their social conscience made them all the more sexier. :) Have always loved their music.

[philipjohnhomewood]

classic freedom song

[wyattbills]

love ub40 for 25 years!!! but the lead singer's gum chewing while he is singing is

so distracting!!!!

[MultiBarry1]

@kippy123456 - Which South Africa are you talking about? The one I am from has the highest crime rate in the world, one of the 10 worst education systems in the world, corruption is rife (even acknowledged by ANC), highest HIV/AIDS infection rate in the world, 25% official unemployment rate, 48% unoffical - so where is it doing so well?????

Wake up and smell the roses! More people die in South Africa every year than in Iraq & Afghanistan combined - so-called war zones!!

[phantomsuccour]

@MultiBarry1 the south Africa that is now free from Apatheid which was worse than all those combined!! If you want a country to hold people a slaves,m try somewhere else, South Africa is free!!!

[emm589]

It´s weird , maybe I didn´t see them, but, I couldn´t see much black people, only white, but maybe it was me...

[punnopunno]

great song, miss those Steinberger basses.... an 80's icon ;)

[wogglebugs]

This concert was how I found out about apartheid.

[kunkubutta]

GREAT SONG...NICE BASS TOUCH..WOW

[MsVampyregoth]

Steve Biko - he was a political activist just like Mandela who died. And yep the other one was SWAPO

[ndewet602]

bliksem. you should get your facts straight. its people like you that deep in your heart you hope those things will happen, so that the new south africa should fail. but you wrong. south africa is a great nation.

[luapnworb]

i saw these guys at summer jam germany last year and they were still brilliant! timeless.

[liliniduruvesi]

UB40!!! wat i great inspirational song...

[MsBEBE33b]

Abolished 16yrs ago unbelievable!!!!!

[Tubsta1]

Can anyone believe now in our day and age that apartheid only existed what two decades or more ago? What a disgrace it was. Thank God for UB40 and others to speak out against it. Bless you UB40

[sarsquare]

Dedicated to Nelson, Willie, ANC (Afican National Congress) and who?? Couldn't quite make it out. Swartho? I am reading Nelson Mandela's autobiography A Long Walk to Freedom, and for anyone that has not read it, you simply should! So enlightening and educational as well as fascinating.

[roxiek]

Nelson Mandela, Winnie Mandela, Steve Biko, ANC and SWAPO (South West Africa People's Organization).

[kippy123456]

@sarsquare Ya, SWAPO and Sam Nujomo fought the SA military in Namibia for independence and I know a few guys involved in some nasty things during that time in Northern Namibia and Angola. I am stoked that both S.A and Namibia are doing so well and will be back there in May

[flevobirdy]

[DeadManOnLeave]

[mandyvv1]

[Tuffwarlord]

AFRICAN KING Mandela

[Muchindu]

AMANDLA AWETHU!!!!

[Bliksem6845]

I wonder if world leaders know how bad it is going in South-Africa? Last year alone 20,000+ people lost their lives due to violent crime in South-Africa, thousands upon thousands of women were raped in South-Africa last year! It is not going well in South-Africa at all! I fled South-Africa with my family because of the above. Apartheid sucked but the Bloody New South-Africa is a complete nightmare.

[shluzer]

Where is good in Africa ?
