@CrudPure commented:

"This is not a 'version' of our national anthem. This is the original song composed by Enoch Sontonga in 1897. It was combined with 'Die Stem van Suid-Afrika' to create the new national anthem adopted in 1994. The combination was finalized in 1997."

@GivlaGee replied:

"If You Listen to what EFF has been saying all this time, you wouldn’t have forgotten."

@Less57 reacted:

"Yhooo Nandi, we have shame, and it's sad to see our leaders in parliament, none of them actually give a d*mn. Like you, I feel extremely sorry for every one of them in those Sandton houses. God bless them."

"This makes me a bit sad. South Africa has been through a lot. Really, we have a very dark past. I can’t believe that the ANC has betrayed all that. You can hear that the anthem was a song of cry."
