    Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but these are the lyrics
    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 (Ntate)
    O se boloke
    Setjhaba sa heso
    Setjhaba sa South Afrika
    (South Afrika)
    Uit die blou van onse hemel
    Uit die diepte van ons see
    Oor ons ewige gebergtes
    Waar die kranse antwoord gee
    Sounds to call to come together
    And united we shall stand
    Let us live and strive for freedom
    In South Africa our land

      On the sesotho part, I think it would have made greater sense if you wrote sotho since that part includes all sotho languages. ( sesotho, setswana, sepedi)

      @TshepisoMagomane Před 8 měsíci +29

      @lebo5281 fact remains, all three are included there. We can go word for word and see. The difference is 0.0001. If you can ask each member of the 3, they will probably tell you they sing it based on their own language .
      Mosotho: Morena boloka sechaba sa heso.
      Motswana: Morena boloka setshaba sa heso.
      Mopedi: Morena boloka setšhaba sa gešo.

    • @lebo5281
      @lebo5281 Před 8 měsíci +8

      @TshepisoMagomane
      No. The fact that we can all understand the stanza does not mean it was written in our languages, the pronunciation too, is a guide.
      Setswana: Morena boloka setšhaba sa gaetsho, o fedise dintwa le matshwenyego.
      Northern Sesotho: Morena boloka setšhaba sa gešu, o fediše dintwa le matshwenyego.
      Southern Sesotho: Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso, o fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho.
      We would have probably chosen different words even, if this stanza was indeed written in Setswana.

    Dude, thank you so so much for highlighting South Africa and the beauty of our country. Rugby has brought our nation together in a way nothing else has. As you probably know by now, our country still has many social and economic challenges but I have not experienced anything in recent times that has warmed my heart as much and made my day as amazing as seeing an american football player showing so much interest and love for our country and the sport of rugby.
    I subbed after watching only 1 of your videos. I'm sure there are many South Africans who have watched your videos who are willing to assist you with any questions you have about rugby, and I am one of them. So reach out any time man.
    AMERICA needs a rugby team dog! Your country is filled with extremely tough men and I know without even thinking much about it that the US can become a leading rugby nation but it needs someone like you with the passion you already have for our game to make it happen! I think you have what it takes man! You are so right when you say its a tough sport, for real men. The hits these boys take match after match and be ready for another battle in as little as a week, like when they compete in the rugby world cup (ongoing at the moment), is truly astounding. And a lot of our boys have professional careers exceeding 10 years!
    The Boks are competing against England in the semi-finals of the 2023 Rugby World Cup on Saturday 21 October '23 at 9pm GMT+2. Its going to be a very tough encounter because England is looking good at the moment, but I have all the faith that our boys can go to the final where we will more than likely be up against New Zealand. And boy oh boy, is that going to be something. Both South Africa and New Zealand have won the trophy 3 times, more than any other teams competing, by a long shot. So all things point to a stunning final if we beat England this saturday. New Zealand is arguably the most dangerous team in the world when it comes to rugby. They are unpredictable and I have seen them win matches coming out from half time with a huge score deficit and win the match. So they can never ever be underestimated.
    Again thank you so much for bring a foreighner's "freshmen" perspective to the game. God bless!

But due to the apartheid era South Africa was banned from competing in the 1st and 2nd world cup tournaments, 1987 and 1991. Apartheid was a horrible injustice by the then governments, but the Boks were arguably at their very best during those times.

    Our national flag and anthem came about in a very short time because we needed to acknowledge that our country entering it's new era iof peace and reconciliation was the sum of all it's people - hence the national anthem consists of a traditional African hymn and part of the previous national anthem.
    The national flag itself was designed in a week by one man a few days it was always meant as an interim design for the new govt but it sort of grew on all of us.
