YESSS ive been looking all over for this song after watching it in Global Studies (8th grade)

@ImperialistRunningDo Thanks for the information...interesting! Well in Sweden we learn British English in school, but we see more films etc from America so that is a mix really..however BE and AE are indeed the same language, although the spelling and some words are different...also is the Swedish spoken in Sweden and the Swedish spoken in Finland (a Swedish minority there).

@karpov89 isiZulu is only spoken in South Africa. isiNdebele is spoken in Zimbabwe and Botswana. These languages were the same 200 years ago. English is mostly the same in England and the US, but there's been a lot of contact. When Mizilikaze took Shaka's cattle, he knew the only contact would be a violent one. So the two languages have drifted a bit, but if you speak one, you can understand the other. Both rely on a lot of "clicks," unlike the other language in Zimbabwe, Shona.

@ImperialistRunningDo That is too bad...I understand the South Africans might think they are stealing jobs but you should not blame the people for that. So Zulu is a language of several countries in southern Africa!?
-
@karpov89 Yep. It's the song of people who have to travel to a distant mine. Even today, many people from Zimbabwe cross into South Africa hoping to find work. Sadly, they are often not received kindly.
-
@ImperialistRunningDo You mean that the melody is from Zimbabwe; they seem to be singing about South Africa, not Zimbabwe?!
-
We've just nailed this in choir. We source songs from all over the world and this has to be one of our favourites for performance.

Whoah, this is a GREAT rendition!
This song isn't South African per se. It's from Zimbabwe. Yes the lyrics are Zulu; they are also Ndebele, an offshoot that broke away in Shaka's time.
