Our orientation at Sea Point, Cape Town... unfortunetely Maxi only sang the first stanza...

Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.
Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa la matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
Setjhaba sa South Afrika - South Afrika.




Translation
The isiXhosa and isiZulu of the first stanza, the Sesotho of the second stanza and the Afrikaans of the third stanza translate into English as follows:

Lord, bless Africa
May her spirit rise high up
Hear thou our prayers
Lord bless us.
Lord, bless Africa
Banish wars and strife
Lord, bless our nation
Of South Africa.

  • That is really a beautiful anthem !!

  • Eine gute Stimmt hat des Mädchen....Einfach nur geil wie sie des singt...

  • where is the real anthem?

    Uit die blou van onse hemel, uit die diepte van ons see,

    Oor ons ewige gebergtes waar die kranse antwoord gee.

    Deur ons ver-verlate vlaktes met die kreun van ossewa -

    Ruis die stem van ons geliefde, van ons land Suid-Afrika.

    Ons sal antwoord op jou roepstem, ons sal offer wat jy vra:

    Ons sal lewe, ons sal sterwe - ons vir jou, Suid-Afrika

  • Very good singing my girl. well done. Please note that Its not South Africa's National Anthem if its missing the Afrikaans and english part. its just "Nkosi sikeleli Africa" hoer? goed :)

  • Do you afrikaners understand now what is so annoying about germans? fuck...

  • What happened to Die Stem. Its so beautiful

  • Sings nicely but what about the Afrikaans, not hip enough for the dying-out Germans ?

  • ohhhh cheeky xx0o9xx
