GHANAIAN REACTS TO SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM.... I have been singing it wrong the whole time?

[@sidneylusiki8207]

The one you sang in school is a Swahili version of it (Before it was amendend in 1994) which was later amendend and adopted as RSAs national anthem in 1994 as a result Afrikaans and English were added. Also other countries such as Tanzania, Zambia and other countries. It was meant to be African Union anthem

[@sibusisosimama7501]

can you check the south african version that did not have english and african the original nkosi sikelela

[@kiblinflinn8147]

It was written by Enoch Sontonga in isiXhosa, as a prayer hymn to bless Africa .

[@RottenFrog]

Yeeaah, in South Africa you must be linguistically gifted! The anthem represents as well the unity of SA as the people's diversity. By the way, I live near Cape Town and I speak English, Afrikaans, Italian, German and a bit of isiXhosa and isiZulu

[@ananyangkewetse9522]

Hun you are so gorgeous 😊 what you are singing is the hymn "Nkosi Sikelela" the SA anthem was a mixture of the hymn and die stem van Suid Afrika so the whole Anthem is a prayer that is why most people close their eyes when singing the anthem 😍 again you are beautiful

[@adwoalee1]

Thank you queen 😊

[@mixohlungwani3793]

You awesome. This is the most genuine reaction I have ever come across. Keep the videos coming.

[@adwoalee1]

Thank you💜

Fun Fact: The South African National Anthem is actually the African Continental Anthem, it’s also the Tanzanian national anthem, just adapted into different languages

[@AustineAK]

The anthem was adopted in 1994

[@alexormulea]

The South African anthem is mostly a prayer. Only the Afrikaans and English portions at the end are a pledge... The anthem also refers to Africa as a whole, in such a way that it can be sung for any and all African countries... I'm Zimbabwean though I'm from Beitbridge which is the border into RSA, and I can assure you we also learn the same rhythm in informal settings though for us the words made sense because we speak n understand RSA languages

[@WarNeverChanges9191]

True but back in the days the Die Stem was a mixture between a prayer and a pledge they could have taken the prayer part at least for the current anthem.

[@Cassxowary]

“I don’t have a good voice” proceeds to sing so beautifully... girl... I can sing and wish I sounded as lovely as you! 👏🏻 for you :p And agreed too, it’s the greatest song! and I love your hair an shirt and reaction too! Have a nice safe day!

[@adwoalee1]

I know you are just trying to be nice. But in reality u agree i have a terrible voice. Thank you tho 💜

[@Cassxowary]

@@adwoalee1 weird, I could’ve sworn I replied, but I’m not and you actually really don’t, you’re really good (: we’re all our own worst critic, but trust me, you sound good (: Hope you had a lovely weekend and have a nice safe week!

[@surajnundalall9493]

Might not be completely correct but props to y'all for teaching other countries anthem we don't get taught that in SA.

[@afrikawewant5390]

Our national Anthem has Xhosa, Zulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans and English

[@Cassxowary]

zulu then xhosa but yea (:

[@tselekhaswane8041]

Loved your reactions!🤩🤩🤩

[@lsteyn9310]

I love you! You mentioned they all had their eyes closed. Nkosi Sikilel' Afrika is a prayer which means "God Bless Africa". The first part is sung in Xhosa, second in Zulu, third in Sesotho. This is followed by the Afrikaans Die Stem van Suid Afrika and finally The Call of South Africa. We have 11 official languages. ❤

[@adwoalee1]

Thank you for the love💜

[@Hashtag25_]

Ow Leena! So heartwarming ☺️☺️☺️❤️...

[@adwoalee1]

Thank you 💜

[@khumothage4629]

Your lyrics are not wrong. You sang the Tanzanian adaptation of the song. (Basically the same meaning in Swahili) There was once a call to make the song the official anthem of the African Union. Here are the Lyrics of the contemporary South African Anthem: Nkosi sikelel' I Africa. Mal'uphakanisu phondo lwayo. Yizwa yimi thandazo yethu. Nkosi sikelela. Thina. Luswapho lwayo. Morena boloka sechaba sa heso. O feditse dintwa le matswenyego, ose buluke o se boloke, sechaba sa, heso, sechaba sa South Africa. Uit die blou van onse hemel, uit die diepte van one see. Oor ons ewige gebertis, waar die kraanse antwoord gee. Sounds that call to come together, and united we shall stand. Let us live and strive for freedom in South Africa our land.

[@adwoalee1]

Oh ok... I'm glad😂

[@lungelomntungwa934]

I think parts of the Anthem you were singing is the original version before it’s was infused to include other languages

[@bigsalas4584]

Thank you. From ZA with love.

[@caydynlendrum9542]

The anthem is 4 languages, Zulu Xhosa, Afrikaans and English

[@top-gnews8333]

Sesotho is the third idiot

[@afrikawewant5390]

Watching from SA love you

[@adwoalee1]

Love you too💜

[@zookuki]

oh, I love this ❤️🇿🇦

[@eddymakua2175]

Written by Enock Sontanga originally and you learnt the original version.

[@sibusisombatha978]

It's basically a pray

[@bongiconnie4742]

Nkosi sekeleli Africa means Lord bless/protect Africa

[@polokocollen7072]

That was a great reaction.

[@adwoalee1]

Thanks Poloko 💜

[@AustineAK]

Its sang in 5 different different languages, its not the same meaning,...

[@jojomasipa379]

It is prayer and the whole song contains 5-7 languages. Most will not be understood outside South Africa

[@bekitimakwe8624]

No it's not🔥 that Tanzanian version is Lit!!! We have 5 Languages in our Anthem namely IsiXhosa(First stanza), IsiZulu( second stanza), Afrikaans( third stanza) and finally English(Last stanza). It is beautiful❤. Thanks for reacting on it and you beautiful as well...

[@mautwana]

You lie like a cheap watch

[@RottenFrog]

The third stanza is Sesotho (Morena boloka...)

[@kabelomatji8211]

[@berengsello5645]

The way you sing is till okay on your language

[@aydanludick4318]

Okay so you said your begings wrong but actually thats right just she has and accent and is used to speaking ghe language

[@leratomabote712]

Nkosi sikelela means god save Africa

[@vusitwala382]

It's a Pan African anthem, adopted by Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia and South Africa just to name a few. I guess that's the reason they taught it to you in Ghana!!!

[@ceboshembe]

Let me hit that red button just for control

[@adwoalee1]

Lol... just for control?

[@jaylovely7083]

lol so you even mixed the South African national anthem with Tanzania and Zambia....Maybe it was a remix or something

[@killerbehemoth]
