Our Anthem isn't just a song, it's also a prayer hence we get so emotional when we sing it.

Our anthem is not just a song but it is also a prayer to the Lord and when we sing it it reminds us of our struggles as black south Africans but the beauty of it is the forgiveness and standing together as one, that is the strength and the beauty of our national anthem

My Anthem makes me so proud, such strong people in South Africa and has so much to give.. always cry when i listen to this..

In South Africa or Africa we only sing a national anthem when national teams play each other...also we don't sing it during domestic matches and we don't do pledge of alliance at schools

Look, we're not perfect, this beautiful RSA of ours. But it's the country that raised amazing children and saved amazing animals. A land where all miracles are possible. I was born in Taiwan but raised in RSA and was taught both the Taiwanese and SA national anthem. They're both amazing. But as one girl who's seen the pre-apartheid and the post, the national anthem has definitely evolved into its best version. Proud to say that although very few of us asian people here know how to love this country and sing our anthem, at least I do! And I hold it close to my heart because this country is home. Love you RSA.

Our anthem gives me shivers and makes me tear all the time. I guess it stems from the times when the isiZulu/isiXhosa/seSotho parts used to be outlawed. This used to be a war cry for black South Africans and now we sing it as a one people.

Nah, in pretty much the rest of the world the national anthem is played only when one country's national team plays another country's national team. It's not used for domestic competitions unless it's a cup final or something.

[@kobusjordaan5038]

searched so long for this comment.

[@laucrack5863]

Lawrence(aka Laucrack) from SA, our national anthem is not about the country but is about the whole continent of Africa and that makes it special. It's simply says "Lord Bless Africa". A person who wrote this song, wrote it during the colonialism and every black person loved the song. From 1994 it became the national athem and other languages were added in the song as it was only sang in Zulu. The additional of languages made the song a RAINBOW NATION SONG. This song is a prophetic prayer for Africa. I long all Africans to sing this song in their own languages.

[@TheDemouchetsREACT]

We know now. Thank you.

South African here, white, and for most people in the country, the anthen signified change and unity. So everyone in South Africa actually sings the anthem and it is pretty frowned upon to see sport players not sing the anthen when representing the country.

[@meganjroy]

I think people find it odd that Americans sing their national anthem when playing against other American teams. A lot of sports, even when playing internationally do not perform anthems, so just seems like an odd thing to do when the anthem is normally sung to represent 1 vs another. While yes we always sing anthems for international rugby matches that would not be the case if two south African teams were playing against each other or even two club teams from different countries.
