[@fritzlotscher9602]

But there are not only boys, there are also ladies. It is the most beautiful choir I have ever heard. And what I especially like is that white and black singers sing together in the most beautiful way. And André van der Merwe is an absolutely top conductor. Congratulations and warm greetings from Switzerland

Ça fait des années que je connais et admire cette chorale. Les visages changent, les talents restent et le chef de chorale, brillant. Ils doivent se délecter de travailler avec lui. Ça respire la joie. Une chorale au pays de l'apartheid où la parité est vraiment respectée. Magnifique Stellenbosch university choir. A chaque fois c'est un plaisir et une émotion renouvelés. Continuez de nous en-chanter.

This is amazing. If all South Africans could embrace each others differences and unite in harmony this country will be able to achieve so much more. Listening to this stunning choir gives me hope for a bright future in South Africa. I pray that all will allow the light to shine on other fellow South Africans and that we would unite like never before giving room for each person to grow and achieve success. This is a great country with so much potential. Let's build instead of breakdown. Lose the fight to win the battle.

[@ayolovephat]

It's beautiful but it can't be in the Lion King, because what the lyrics mean and stand for does not go with it. The song is a prayer to YAHWEH to take one to the heavenly Jerusalem described in the BIBLE. So nope. Lion King is one of my favourite animations, by the way.

What a Joy to find this through the power of the internet. Some seventy years ago, I was introduced to Afrikaner music, through the songs of Marais and Maria. Finding The Stellenbosch Choir while searching for more of their music has been a true blessing. A youngster from a small town in Pennsylvania found out that there is a whole world of music waiting to be sung and heard. Music that transcends borders and nationalism to bring their message to the world. For giving yourselves to the betterment of our world, I humbly Thank You. Pete

This isn't Afrikaner music. It's more African than Afrikaner.
