Staring out my window at Table Mountain on a rainy day in Cape Town and this song makes me so proud to be South African, African... Sometimes we forget how far we've come and how far we still have to go, not only as a nation but as individuals... ME and You
This song gets me extatic whenever I hear it,It is upbeart so young song
pure so authentic.and Gets thr young no spring chicken but young enough to know that that PAVARROTTI &freinds were way out of their league,we don't need anthems that they sing
@SPVIDEOSTUDIOS Portugal's only been to the World Cup once, in 2007 and was beaten in the pool stages. And they have plenty of professional players...
Vow to thee my country is so much better than god save the queen, we need to start a campaign to get the anthem changed. Jerusalem and land of hope and glory can fuck off. x x
How sad for South Africa 15 years down the line that it's been so messed up - the visions in 1995.. i remember watching the drop-kick that won us the WC, the day after i arrived in London.... #Wecanalwayshope
@markusgl1 omg omg omfg, 1:10 is an amazing country and has an amazing rugby team, with players eg. brian o driscoll. they sure pooned england on sataurday. hoooorah! and won the grand slam 2009. w00t!
quite possibly one of the most beautiful and most heart-felt songs i have ever heard. it feels like making me cry, but happy and joyful tears. i love it.
Most of the national flags in the video are of countries who did not participate a the world cup... but I do agree with Mrtony565 that it is a song for the whole world to enjoy and should be considered the world national song, not just a rugby song. I am glad to hear it come to prominance again, thanks to the movie Invictus
The women singing is PJ Powers with backing vocals from Ladysmith Black Mombasa. This version is much better than the Welsh one in my view. Tis a great song, great beat and great words.
This is indeed a solemn and lovely song - the very best version I've heard by a South African lady- Lady Smith Mombasa. Whoever comments on this song should all think of it as a World National Song rather than holding on to regional patriotism. I am a free thinker from India and I strongly advocate for a free world with no national boundaries but with the belief that there should be one world government for all humans to share in true living harmony.
Yes I think you will do it! But this sport you never know, NZ are at home, Australia are always dangerous. Then Ireland, France and England are up to it! One moment can change everything. Go Ireland!
As ridiculous as it sounds, this would probably only ever become reality in the event of an alien invasion.

when I hear P.J & Ladysmith Black Mabaso sing this iconic version. The African

version should be played at all future world cups.Heard past attempts they really
can't compare.Go South Africa Go bring the cup back where it belongs.
