It’s my birthday today 11/12/2023. I’m 30 years old. The happiness in this man’s face, and this song are the only way I can express how my life is. Im so happy and grateful to have experienced this feeling in life. I know how rare it is for people. I wish you all reading this that happiness.🙌🏿🙌🏿

I remember Joe "Sdumo" Mafela (May His Soul RIP) singing this song. Wed 24 April 1996 just before the kick off between Bafana Bafana and Brazil (African Champs v World Champions) Phil "Chippa" Masinga (May His Soul RIP) danced softly and the stadium was full to capacity around 75 000 fans and the game was in the evening. note made on Sunday 22/10/2023
IF you are reading this comment in the year 3000, this JOE MAFELA song took over the whole world especially Africa in any elementary schools time, it’s still 2024 and the goosebumps is still deep Music is life Don’t forget to type RIP 🥹 And reply to tell the next Generations the year you joined this section
@@tinditinaaggrey5479 it's a celebration of Congos independence. Sung by south africans telling Congo - Zaire to keep going, like a train. Keep going forward, working hard, day and night.
I'm a ugandan i don't even understand what he meant but hearing the tune only made me to fall in love with this song i occasionally listen to south African music because it's purely African ❤ much love from uganda ❤ and soon I'm learning some key languages in SA just to cope up with their sweet music 😊 Rip joe mafela you released a banger i can't get enough of it ❤❤

This song became a local anthem in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, during the 90s, one of the classics that signals Cartagena's close relationship with its African influence. I just love this song.

@@tinditinaaggrey5479 it's a celebration of Congos independence. Sung by south africans telling Congo - Zaire to keep going, like a train. Keep going forward, working hard, day and night.
Yet we called Xenophobic. We love our African brothers and sisters, we just not afraid to speak against our African brothers who do illegal things.
Regardless of political instabilities and other issues South Africa produces the best artists and music ❤ Long live Joe Mafela
