National Anthem of Zimbabwe (1980-1994) - "Ishe Komborera Africa"

- "Ishe Komborera Africa" was the Zimbabwean national anthem from 1980 to 1994. It was the country's first national anthem after gaining independence in 1980. It is a translation of 19th-century South African schoolteacher Enoch Sontonga's popular African hymn "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" into Zimbabwe's native Shona and Ndebele languages.
The song was first translated into Shona in the early 20th century and was initially popular with all sections of society in Southern Rhodesia. Following Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence, it was polarized as a symbol of the Zimbabwe liberation movement. It was adopted in 1980 following Zimbabwe's independence as a show of solidarity with other African movements in countries under apartheid. It was replaced as the national anthem of Zimbabwe in 1994 by "Simudzai Mureza wedu weZimbabwe" as part of a move to adopt a uniquely Zimbabwean composition for use as the national anthem, but it still remains very popular in the country.
Can't believe I was part of the last generation of students that sang this beautiful prayer and anthem.... 🌾🥰😇🙏🌺
1994, sweet memories
I don't really know what I'm doing here as a Turkish person...But this is blessed...
Zimbabve diye bir yer yok, yaşasın Rodezya
Ishe komborera Africa
Oh yeah oh yeah carry on
May God bless Africa forever and ever
Bless like you saw everyday.
Amen🙏
Better days are coming again Africa, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, be ready for the glory of God on you 🙏
The real national anthem
Of the future Unified Africa
The Zimbabwe that i miss 😢 before they ruined 😔 it
Before??? Sound great.
Why ruined?
@@ickgtib Bad politics and bad economic policies. In the late 90s, the country went into a economic meltdown and it has never recovered since.
@@kudajr I mean the whole country was doomd mughabi took over
Miss these days though, they the best and i cannot imagine any better
I know right
You can say that again, no wonder things are not going well in Zim we need this kind of prayer in the country
This was golden age of Zimbabwean history.
It was better😍 than the current one and the same as South Africa's, Zambia's and Tanzania's
Asante sana ni kweli kabisa. Karibu Tanzania 🇹🇿
Congratulations for your national holiday on 18th April Zimbabwe from your friends in Germany
Thank you so muchh
😢😢We should still be standing our nation on these powerful words.
Reality is that Zimbabwe had to write own anthem. This one by a SA brother is a beautiful one for Africa. However, even AU wrote its own anthem. It's all good. We can keep this one to inspire unity across Africa.
You mean that SA brother is not a Zimbabwean?
@@VictoriaMuzenda No, he was South African, unless there is a line of logic that leads to South African to be also a Zimbabwean where he may not have acquired Zim citizenship.
But kutaura chokwadi patakatanga kuimba zvemagamba izvi (simudzai mureza) ndakarwadziwa because Ishe Komborera was a prayer itself. Dai ikadzokazve
The moment they changed this prayer to God 4 Zim and made a national anthem a prayer to the ancestors the economy went down
That was a touching national anthem
The beginning is so beautiful
I wish this could have remained the anthem 😢😢
Bring back this awesome anthem
A powerful spirit-filled song
Wow!
It's so similar to that of South Africa (In fact most of the tune is same!)
Its the same, it's a shared anthem. It was the "African National Anthem" back then before we were divided.
It was composed by a South African
@@tendaichigariro6083 how so, when Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe sang it first after they gained their respective independence way way before South Africa?
@@fredychiramba298 was written by a South African in the late 19th century. South Africa couldn't make it their national anthem during apartheid. If you check some of those countries later changed to national anthems composed by their natives
@@blossom7465 alright, thanks 😊
What a lovely prayer
God bless the modern nation of Zimbabwe!
Nice anthem
very nice
Yeah
Lindo hino
Great!
Ndaive zvangu grade one, ndolumboiimba kwezvimwedzi pana1994.
Zvino Zanu PF thought changing it to the Simudza mureza one. It isn't as inspiring as this one! It seems we chose being secular. Yet this song didn't specify any religion. Even in ATR , Christianity or other religions, it stl did the trick
Ishe komborera Africa.
Amen 🙏🙏
I don't know you who disliked this video but it's really mean
Cry about it...
Here's the story of Rhodesia
A land both fair and great
On 11th of November
An independent state
This was much against the wishes
Of certain governments
Whose leaders tried to break us down
To make us all repent
But we're all Rhodesians
And we'll fight through thick and thin
We'll keep our land a free land
Stop the enemy coming in
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi
Till that river's running dry
This mighty land will prosper
For Rhodesians never die
They can send their men to murder
And they can shout their words of hate
But the cost of keeping this land free
Can never be too great
For our men and boys are fighting
For the things that they hold dear
That this land and all its people
Will never disappear
'Cause we're all Rhodesians
And we'll fight through thick and thin
We'll keep our land a free land
Stop the enemy coming in
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi
Till that river's running dry
This mighty land will prosper
For Rhodesians never die
We'll preserve this little nation
For our children's children too
For once you're a Rhodesian
No other land will do
We will stand tall in the sunshine
With the truth upon our side
And if we have to go alone
We'll go alone with pride
But we're all Rhodesians
And we'll fight through thick and thin
We'll keep our land a free land
Stop the enemy coming in
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi
Till that river's running dry
This mighty land will prosper
For Rhodesians never die
Yes we're all Rhodesians
And we'll fight through thick and thin
We'll keep our land a free land
Stop the enemy coming in
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi
Till that river's running dry
This mighty land will prosper
For Rhodesians never die
Because we're all Rhodesians
And we'll fight through thick and thin
We'll keep our land a free land
Stop the enemy coming in
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi
Till that river's running dry
This mighty land will prosper
For Rhodesians never die
Whoever changed the national anthem is a mofo!
maybe not that, but this one is great!
So after some research, I came to find out that the song was originally written by a South African man named Enoch Sontonga in 1897. So I assume at their independence, the South Africans asked to reclaim it.
@@ThreePuttBogeys88 zambia and tanzania still use this melody I think
This was never a Zimbabwean national athem it's more of an African athem the current one is a true Zimbabwe national athem, thank you
@Judy Rumbwere well I just prefer the old version. And it has greater meaning than the new one. Since I got no time for that research you can as well educate me!
Make Zimbabwe Rhodesia again
The company of Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
I miss Rhodesia.
😢😢😢😢
Ko yakazo chinjirweiko iyi yaive boo
NKOSI SIKELELA AFRIKA
Long live the rhodesia
Why was it changed?
I thinks it's because it was written by a South African: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Sontonga
Yeah
ZANU
Its Jonathan moyo
Before they sing ropa revanhu vakafa kuti vadzoke kuvapenyu
What language was this anthem sung in?
Shona language
I miss mugabe ne tie yake ari pa heros akasunga muromo kkk
I cant sing the current one even one word
You can learn if you want, the same way you learned the old one
Rhodesia never dies
It's already dead
Glory to rohdesia
NO
