Whenever I hear Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika it never fails to move me to tears - but this version?? It's from another world - absolutely stunning in every way!

As a Nigerian you ought to be touched by this song (Prayer) because Solomon wrote about Africa.

It was indeed her beauty that caused us so much misery. "God bless Africa"

Lol, it is funny how people assume this part is Zulu when in fact it is Xhosa. The best thing about this views by people is that it shows how isiXhosa, isiZulu and the rest of the related speeches are really one language and should be treated as such, as a language of instruction, of communication. People can speak their own varieties sure, but officially they should standardise isiNdebele, Siswati, isiXhosa and isiZulu, isiMpondo, Siphuthi, etc., into one language called isiNguni

Nkosi Sikelela is still part of the anthems of Tanzania, Zambia and South Africa. Namibia and Zimbabwe replaced their version with new compositions.

Enoch’s masterpiece will always be somehow used in most Southern African countries and as a Zambian, we changed the words but the melody is the same.

I’m convinced heaven sounds something like this shuuu🙌🏼 that soprano is angelic 👏🏽👏🏽

You’ve become my favorite choir to listen to. Greetings from America 🇺🇸!!!!

They literally are the best choir in the world 🇿🇦.

Their diction is flawless. For a choir that large to sound like one person is just REALLY impressive.

When i watch this video, i can sooooo see the potential this beautiful country has....when all people of different ethnicities, colors, gender, sing in perfect harmony, creating passionate soulful sound. Perhaps we just need a great conductor!

Most beautiful national anthem. Proud to be South African 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

By far the best version of Nkosi Sikelela iAfrika i've heard. Love from Zimbabwe ❤

may Uyinene rest in perfect peace🤍🕊

This is my country, my pride, my joy and it can only be South Africans who can make such a prayer. We may be divided but we are unified in one heart.

During this tough time as a country .....nkosi sikelela I Africa

God bless South Africa, infact God bless the whole world. Lord we need you.

I know this is not South Africa's official anthem, but I know it had a huge influence on shaping your official one, and that it has a similar history re: the anthems in some other African countries. I also know a few other things: First, this piece is deeply loved in South Africa; second, many wish it was the official anthem; third, this is the most beautiful anthem -- official or not -- on earth; fourth, this is the most beautiful performance of that anthem ever.

We do don't ask God to take away the battles and wars. We only ask for strength to overcome😅❤🎉

This is a superb reditionibg of Nkosi Sikele Aftica. I am proud to call myself African and although I have been in South Africa for 50 years, this is also the tune for the Zambian anthem. This is sublime

I am from Angola and honestly this is the most amazing rendition from an African Choir that I've ever watched. It is undoubtful that the Holy Spirit inspired your voices. This is heaven on earth...left me tearful.

I am proud of my home south africa❤❤❤

This is an appropriate song for us a country, after elections we need to unite n set aside our differences and call on God to heal our land. KJV 2 Chronicles 7:14 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I don' t live in Africa, nor have heard the anthem before, but this was astoundingly beautiful. In Heaven, there will be no division, and we will worship God the Father and Jesus our Lord as brothers and sisters no matter where we come from. We are all ONE in Christ Jesus!

In 1966 I went to Capetown on a ship and was beaten up badly by the SA police because I had given a bag of children’s clothes to a Zulu man called Gabriel whom I had met on previous visits. It was such a sad place back then and I never went back. So seeing this is just great, something I could have never imagined. Good luck SA I hope you make it work and look after each other.........what a great choir. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Yes, the song, if they could've known, it was created for that, the struggle that black people went to, in their country during apartheid days, being touched, killed by white people,, the song was all about that.

In August this year I visited South Africa! It's beautiful, breathtaking Nature, a hard life for the citizens. But I have hope and pray that this Nation will overcome the difficulties and grow together. There is so much potential in this colourful Nation. God bless South Africa❣May be I have the chance for another visit also to Stellenbosch. Your are doing a wonderful job!Thank you for the video!

When music becomes a Universal language 🇿🇦😍 this is what we mean by inclusivity.

This is so amazing..so soothing...Africa is home.. I'm From Kenya And I really love the Zulu language and it's culture... Thumbs up..
