Andre, Kimmy,Carla and Carmem thank you for this song

[@margarethorner5608]

My husband and I were there. It was so moving and she was very brave to even attempt to sing this beautiful song as a tribute to "Madiba". Wonderful

In what month and year was this performed and where was it performed?

[@diogomaia5111]

Que privilégio...Obrigado de Fortaleza Ceará Brasil. D.R.A.

[@stellawells4952]

We too.

[@AlidaVanZyl-yc9bh]

I also live in South Afrika, for 73 years, 44 years in Kakamas, near the Augrabies Falls. It is a beautiful country with all his Nationalities, who can work together to make it a better place for us all, only with the help of God.

[@AlexSantana-ch2ox]

Awesome song thanks for make this wonderful moment!!!!

[@lynvanniekerk1533]

I am a white South African and Nelson Mandela is/was our Father of the Nation. This is one of my favourite songs sung beautifully by Kimmy. Thank you. We buried our Nelson yesterday after the passing of a Great Man.

[@jeandidiernzeweangoue997]

be blessed!

[@Deontjie]

He was such a great man. That is why he died a very rich man like most politicians do. And somehow his children got appointed in top positions in which they had no training or experience. Zuma learned these two traits from Mandela and use it to the upmost. I still feel bad for Mandela that his paintings that was sold to Oprah and the world's elite turned out to be fake. They should have prosecuted his lawyer that bought the Ghostwriter machine and the woman who made the drawings. I don't think Mandela knew that those painting that he signed was not done by himself. I hope Mandela don't look down from where-ever he is spending his afterlife, and see that our nation airlines, power utility, Rail Agency and most ANC run municipalities has corrupted his dream into a complete seizure.

[@headdragondavidaustinsimmo4025]

You have same birthmark as south Africa ant's

[@pharoah-ahmose6075]

You are not native to South Africa

[@Deontjie]

@@pharoah-ahmose6075 You sound smart, so I assume you will know the following facts: South Africa / Sterkstroom is the cradle of humankind. So technically everyone in the world could call South Africa their ancestry land. If not so, then African migrant workers going to Europe / America / Arabia must have also lost their nativity? Or do you want to pin a time frame to the time spend abroad? Maybe a time that will suite your narrative? White people first settle in South Africa with the Dutch. These Dutchmen was not allowed to bring women. So most Dutchmen married the local San people. So having a distant San relative in my parentage should also make me native. Otherwise black people with a German father must also lose their nativity. (Trevor Noah) As with white settlers moving into southern Africa, so did the local black tribes. The African tribal migration from central Africa to southern Africa is well documented. Even by African scholars. So, does the black migrants who moved to South Africa a few hundred years before the Dutch, have a greater claim to nativity? If so, then why don't black and white hand this country back to the Koi / San /Griequas, who was here way before black or white?

[@th.vandriessche1273]

Nelson Mandela gave the world a beautiful example of hope for a better future. This performance could not express this hope in a better way.

[@johannrugby3811]

Do not cry because his gone, be happy because he was here. LEGENDS NEVER DIE. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💪💪💪

[@laozhai]

Yes be happy he was here 😢😢❤

[@mgraysonhay]

Of all the Mandela tributes, this one is by far the best!

[@patriciaquinn285]

Kimmy is an outstanding singer and she has done Nelson Mandela proud singing this song. Xxx

[@sjekula]

Thank You Mr Rieu for honoring a father not just to us South Africans but also to the rest of the world. Sis Kimi Skota, you make us so proud to be South Africans, carry on flying our flag high all over the world. God Bless.

[@olgakarasso7007]

The splendid dream of Nelson Mandela... the dream of many of us that is still a dream but maybe one day... Extraordinary the performance of the Singer, Orchestra and Maestro Rieu who is the director of this moving moment.

[@karineduprez3620]

Gewoon schitterend en we hopen echt dat Kimmy dat ook op 4 januari in Hasselt zal zingen. Kimmy, you are the most beautiful black pearl on earth. Hug Karine.

[@vivinova5431]

Beautiful woman. What a powerful voice! 🧡💙🧡👑

[@TheAprildiamond]

A wonderful tribute to an amazinng man who showed what could achived without the cry of vengence but with the call of forgiveness. Just a pity some in the audiance could not swallow their stuffy pride and stand to applaud the memory of a man who will be missed greatly.

[@kathleengeorge5612]

I loved the song An African Dream. Andre your performances are so wonderful. God has blessed you with such wonderful talents. Kathleen George from Canada

[@davidsadler419]

A sensational and very moving tribute to a great man. I am not one for sentiment under normal circumstances; but tears were flowing down my cheeks. Thank you Andre and the JSO and mostly thank you Nelson Mandela. May your Spirit live long.

[@NeudodePaulaSilveira]

Quando eu penso nas atrocidades que fizeram contra os meus irmãos Africanos, sinto uma tristeza tão profunda, como pode ainda existir pessoas que se acham superiores às outras, simplesmente pela diferença na cor da pele? Esta Mulher consegue transmitir através da sua voz, todo o sofrimento que viveram por longos anos de discriminação e falta de respeito.Parabéns pela linda mensagem.

I am a Kenyan and when I see a picture of Mandela when he was in prison, I shed alot of tears, but his gap is smartly being replaced by one fearless man by the name Julius Malema.keep fighting for the people of S.A . Papa, you did your best for the people of S.A .RIP

For me Nelson was the Father of Africa. An example to the World. His long walk to Freedom ended when he took that final step to heaven. Until we meet again. KIDS MUST FOLLOW HIS DREAM.

[@RSKurtz-qx7ok]

A very fitting tribute to Nelson Mandels who did so much for the people of South Africa. I'm sure he was smiling down on the performance..

[@Leechowmein86]

One of the greatest men to have walked on this earth, stood up for people without a voice when people tried to take hi Oooh nelson Mandela Brilliant tribute andre

[@Deontjie]

Yep Nelson did great. Just sad the first thing he did when elected president was to pardon his wife, Winnie, for her part in the murder of a young black boy called Stompie.

[@elixerray]

@@Deontjie she was not pardoned by her husband she was acquitted by a court because there was no evidence linking her to his murder. Don't forget the apartheid government were on a all out campaign to discredit her and spread disinformation.

[@liderc13]
