Drakensberg Boys Choir - South African National Anthem

Adopted in 1997, South Africa's national anthem reflects Nelson Mandela's desire to unite all of our people. It combines "Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika" (Lord, Bless Africa), the official anthem of the African National Congress, with "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika" (The Call of South Africa), the country’s national anthem before democracy.
With lyrics in isiXhosa, isiZulu, seSotho, Afrikaans and English, the anthem is the only neo-modal anthem in the world, as it ends in a different key from the one in which it starts.
The only new words are the English lyrics which encourage us to strive for unity and freedom in our country.
Filmed on location at The Drakensberg Boys Choir School in Champagne Valley, Drakensberg.

God bless South Africa
Nkosi sikilel' iAfrika
God seën ons land
On this election day 30 years after our first democratic elections in SA it could not be more important for our Anthem to be sung out over our precious land.
Thank you Drakies for this beautiful rendition. You, the youth, are our hope for our future, our National Treasure. Music is the ministry of the choir and it is what brings our rainbow nation of people together in such a beautiful way. We are so privileged to have this magnificent multi lingual anthem that speaks to every SA heart.
Today I am #proudlysouthafrican
