The big Die Stem debate | Activists say keep Afrikaans in the SA anthem

[@nickwood1852]

It's so funny how the parties worry about the past and don't focus on the future. No wonder the EFF did so bad in elections as they living in the past and not the future for the people

[@siyamckeys5978]

Do not remove Die Stem.

[@languageEnthusiast_sjm]

I am black but die stem is my favorite part of the anthem

[@kellym4]

Alright

If it was good enough for Madiba, it's perfect for me. People choose to ignore his message. This feels like peeling away at Madiba's legacy even further by the baby in a romper and this discussion needs to be shut down.

I think "Bring on the Clowns" would be suitable.

Apartheid is part of our history. And the inclusion of Die Stem in the current anthem is a testament to the negotiations that led to the end of Apartheid. It should stay as a reminder of what it takes to compromise in favour of peace and reconciliation.

Mr Van Wyk speak for yourself. I like the Stem.

[@petelosuaniu]

Leave it

Julius is giving boers too much cloud.U must ignore them and everything they stand for will cease to exist. Obsolete songs and idealogies can not stand the test of time in time south africa will be mzansi and those who want to be different will look like visitors.And I have no time for debate I was just speaking the simple truth.

There isn't anything nice about any countries past, but sometime we need to remember, never let it happen again, now Mr M is projecting again and one other man's disingenuous words can't sort or solve one thing , isn't there more pressing problems, all humans will never agree only agree to disagree, it's the legacy of the past, a song or anthem doest alienate or divide its humans who can't move on,
