Johnny Clegg's The Crossing | DHL Stormers & Friends

The DHL Stormers teamed up with some top artists earlier this year before the lockdown to record South African icon Johnny Clegg's 'The Crossing' at the Academy of Sound Engineering studios in Cape Town (www.ase.co.za). The team has sung this song in the changeroom after every match this season and took it to the next level with the help of some pros in this version. Turn the volume up and get ready for some goosebumps. Directed by Duncan Cruickshank. Performed by DHL Stormers squad and Friends. Composer: Johnny Clegg. Publisher: Rhythm Safari Publishing Pty (Ltd). Download the Mp3 here - africori.to/jct... #iamastormer #dhldelivers @DHLAfrica @DHLRugby

So are we just going to ignore the fact that these guys can actually sing? 🤔

[@vanniekerk3913]

Remember that time in High School Musical when Troy wanted to be a singer and his father wanted him to play basketball, but Troy didn't listen. This is kind of like that, but not really, but secretly they all know how to sing really well, persued their rugby careers and in the locker room they would do their shows, but this time... This time... Life has rewarded their hard work.

We have all come to accept, and love, that South Africa has some of the world's greatest choirs. But your athletes too?!?! NOT FAIR!! (P.S. Thank you for this moving tribute to your giant, Johnny Clegg.)

Siya really deserves the award for most passionate singer, whether it's the anthem or this. Well done guys, some pleasant surprises here.

[@christelledutoit656]

Theres just something Heavenly about music from Africa.

[@willemwikkelspies7732]

Brilliant song , matched by an equally brilliant Stormers performance. Phew , hard as a Shark to say that . But fair is fair .

[@Boerseun2000xx]

Through all the days that eat away At every breath that I take Through all the nights I have lain alone In someone else's dream, awake All the words in truth that have been spoken That the wind has blown away Oh, it's only you that remains with me Clear as the light of day O siyeza, o siyeza Sizofika webaba noma O siyeza, o siyeza Siyagudle lomhlaba Siyawela lapheshaya Lulezontaba ezimnyama Lapha sobheka phansi Konke ukhulupheka A punch-drunk man in a downtown bar He takes a beating without making a sound Through swollen eyes, he sways and he smiles 'Cause no one can put him down Inside of him a boy looks up to his father For a sign or an approvin' eye Oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone Still so affect our lives O siyeza, o siyeza Sizofika webaba…

[@vernonsomerset210]

Yes, its gets you tearful and the spirit we need in fighting the COVID-19 crisis! Johnny Clegg still working his magic, through his fellow countrymen ... I can't wait to sing this with the crowd in Cape Town Stadium at the next big match, Stormers on the rugby field joining in ... Well done, Stormers & Friends

[@SteveMandylifestyle]

Vernon, I'm a sharks fan but I am learning the words of this song so that I can sing along. I don't want to miss out on being a part of this, even if its in my lounge in Durban.

[@SteveMandylifestyle]

You guys nailed it! I'm a Sharks fan, and there I will stay, but every time I watch you guys play in the future (and I hope its soon) I will see each and every one of you in a different light, and I will tell the story of this song. Thank you for making this happen.

Have loved this song ever since I first heard it when it was released after the death of Savuka member, Dudu Zulu. It bings tears to my eyes every time i hear it. I was lucky enough to see Johnny live in Sydney Australia on two occasions. I cherish these memories. Guys, you did a great job with this tribute - and once again, it brought tears to my eyes.

Magnifique hommage ! Amazing tribute ! You guys can be proud.

[@cmel611]

I was introduced to the music of Johnny Clegg in by my 12th grade Religion teacher in high school. Till this day I’m grateful for having us become familiarize with his music. She did get into trouble with the administrators at our school since growing up as a product of the Catholic school system everything was constraint and very conservative back in the day. It was why she had us listen to his music because our religion class incorporated lessons of social justice in today’s society and the fight for fair equality. 15 years later I’m still awe inspired by Johnny Clegg’s music & its a rarity with today’s music to find artists who speak messages of humanity & social justice & understanding of the human soul. Still grateful to my teacher till this day for introducing us to his music
