The toddler sings the national anthem

Motivated by his mom, he moved into the Sotho part, where the challenge became evident. He struggled slightly, humorously making up a few of his own cute words to fill in the gaps. The Afrikaans part also proved to be a hurdle, but the little warrior pressed on with unwavering confidence. His sheer determination and proud expressions overshadowed the occasional mispronounced word.

The English section of the anthem also presented its difficulties, yet the toddler remained confident. When it came to the key line, “In South Africa our land," he loudly sang, “In South Africa Oh yeah,” a passionate substitution that only added to the charm of the performance.
