"Die Stem van Suid-Afrika" - Former National Anthem of South Africa (1957 - 1994)
Die Stem van Suid-Afrika (Afrikaans: [di ˈstɛm fan sœit ˈɑːfrika], lit. '"The Voice of South Africa"'), also known as "The Call of South Africa" or simply "Die Stem" (Afrikaans: [di ˈstɛm]), is a former national anthem of South Africa. There are two versions of the song, one in English and the other in Afrikaans, which were in use early on in the Union of South Africa alongside God Save the Queen and as the sole anthem after South Africa became a republic. It was the sole national anthem from 1957 to 1994, and shared co-national anthem status with "God Save the King/Queen" from 1938 to 1957. After the end of apartheid in the early 1990s, it was retained as a co-national anthem along with "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" from 1994 to 1997, when a new hybrid song incorporating elements of both songs was adopted as the country's new national anthem, which is still in use.

From him we come and to him we will return,and in between we imagine that one is better than other and we imagine ourselves possessors of land that in reality is only granted to us for a temporary period of time with no rights to exclude any other fellow human from these same rights.

No. It wasn't bad.
why is everyone in the comments saying "long live apartheid!, this is true south africa!" yes it's a good anthem, and yes the streets are clean but only 10% of everyone in south africa was able to enjoy that with the other 90% being forced to live in dirty slums sure modern south africa has corruption and crime but that exists everywhere in the world and south africa is still the 3rd largest economy in africa it still has one of the best living standards on the continent and it is a complete democracy that lets everyone vote unlike apartheid which only let 10% of all people vote and the anthem back then was good but today it's better seriously just listen to it also remember, saying you support apartheid means you support racism and white dominance which is like supporting the csa or nazi germany.

Hey dummey, during the Apartheid era 19 000 people were murdered,most of the murders were committed by blacks on blacks .The anc became the governing party in 1994 and since then there were 500 000 murders in our country,that includes 80 000 whites 30 000 of them were commercial farmers!The international community wanted a puppet government in place here so they could get our minerals for next to nothing.All state departments are bankrupt due to mismanagement and now the government wants to delve into our pension funds.So many blacks confessed that the had a better life under apartheid,ou blacks were the richest blacks in sub Sahara so next time you want to post crap get your facts straight first!

Not necessarily the case. I loved the old South Africa I grew up in. But we also recognized things had to change and that's why we voted yes. But then things went south, and we left. So unfortunate the ANC couldn't build on what was handed to them on a silver plate. To the benefit of all South Africans.
