i cant even explain how much this made my day :) its amazing ive listened to it like 20 times in a row now i wish girls could be in your group ha :)

[@DwarfWife]

I've been in love with this song ever since I was a kid watching "The Gods Must Be Crazy." So glad to see rehashes of the beautiful melody.

[@mmsabre7931]

Last night I watched Homeward Bound a Paul Simon Grammy's tribute. In it there was an acapella group by the name of Take 6. They performed a song called Homeless which although different from Tshotsholoza, reminded me of the song from "The Gods Must Be Crazy." I had to find that scene from the movie and here I am now. Love that movie and the song.

[@juanezaling2816]

Wonder how many of us remember “the gods must be crazy?” ❤️❤️❤️

[@evilpeti]

I've loved it since "I'm for the Hippopotamus" starring Bud Spencer & Terence Hill.

Fantastically brilliant singing, their danced choralography? Do they have Portaloos fifty school kids can fit into? I can't sing it yet, too badly bullied as an expat a draft dodger who's an Aussie professional singer, I'm not anti nor pro apartheid I just wish I could sing my homeland anthem I have no memory of Africa just being abused coz my British parents left
