    I am going to light a candle with his picture by it in rememberance of him. He was one of my heroes. One of my lifes dream was to meet Nelson Mandela! I'm sad I could never meet him but I will celebrate his life tonight by lighting a candle in his memory! I wish you well on your journey! You are among the great ones who have also done much for human rights!

    I accidentally stumbled on Steve Hofmeyer's "Die Stem" and was so disgusted with that Gomtor. Then I clicked on this performance. I am so proud of you all! What a wonderful experience to watch the youth of our country not only in love and harmony, but also in achieving quallity music. I love you with all my heart. JULLE IS MY MENSE. Jammer ek kan julle nie daar almal 'n stywe druk gee nie. Mag julle en jul kinders die wenners van hierdie mooi land word. Hettie

    As a Welshman and as an ex member of the Welsh Guards Choir (Bottom Bass), I loved to be a small part of such a beautiful sound. Later, I saw in London a musical called 'Ipi Tombi' and was so blown away by the sound of South Africa I eventually saw the show 13 times! Since then. The early 70's, I have loved the sound and this choir are outstanding. PS if you want to see a brilliant A3 drawing of Nelson Mandela go to natashasportraits on Instagram and leave a comment....Winnie Mandela loved it!

    Hi @Barbara Hallman, no the sheet music is not available since the medley was compiled by and for the NMMU choir. We put it together ourselves, and also worked out the choreography, so we thus have nothing on paper, as is usually the case with traditional medleys. Regards.
