The reason for the amendment in the National Anthem and the incorporation of "Die Stem" is based on the settlement reached in 1994. People chose compromise and peace instead of all out civil war. The current anthem is the perfect metaphor; that what was once separate races can be forged into a single nation - and while that is still a long way off, it remains worthy goal.

I was a 16 year old when Black and Coloured kids were finally allowed into our school.

So the music teacher asked those who knew the hymn to come up to the stage to show the rest of us how it was supposed to be sung. To this day I remember the goosebumps. (I also wish the "uit die blou" and the "come together" nonsense would just be edited off the national anthem already.) (Is boring. It's been almost thirty years.

You are asking why the anthem was amended? The answer is the elders generally lack the courage to correct the wrongs. Another reason is that our elders have been too "cautious" not to offend the white masters, as a result our elders are always too eager to bend backwards at their own expense. That's why today you sing Die Stem as your anthem.
