I'm 3 years late but this is giving me goosebumps

[@almond1915]

At least you are here and its affecting you.

[@dashiekay1730]

I dont understand why some people are hating on the guy for speaking Afrikaans, its an official language in our country so he can speak speak it if he wants to... The performance is outstanding hands down

[@timbawangu3038]

Yes👏

[@gloriamaholwana2986]

Speak it 👏 🙌 no apologies

[@elmarschroder]

As a Tuks Alumni, this made me extremely proud. That was beautiful, and I could listen to this piece all day. To those who got stuck at the Afrikaans part at the beginning, I implore you to start looking beyond the language barrier, and appreciate art for what it is.

[@nanomolapo7920]

This has always been beautiful for me in every way, and not just because bro was involved. It always sends me. Why? The loose translation is calling out to God by saying: 'now that you have taken your son, stay with us (i.e don't abandon us Father).' It is absolutely beautiful.

[@marczimmer172]

The harmony at 3:42 was spine-tingling.

[@jannoswanepoel2506]

i am so confused

[@peterrusschen2355]

Very, very beautiful!

[@4evaglamchick]

I never did audition, but the reason why is a very long story 😂

[@wandilenzuza5323]

Megan Steel guuurl, you better be on a scholarship to an overseas university if you gave this up 😤 (I’m only joking, obvi I don’t know what’s happening in your life) Have you been keeping up with their music though? Their latest releases have been quite exquisite 🙌🏽

[@wandilenzuza5323]

Megan Steel and I hope it was nothing too deep or hectic that kept you from coming to Tuks? 🙈

[@thobeka9123]

There are those who will show hate but being negative over everything that more good people want to see grow we pray that good will overcome.

[@tshireletsomoraka9789]

Thanks a lot bud

[@thefluffyelephant]

+Tshireletso Moraka also - piece is composed by their conductor, Michael Barrett and Ralf Schmitt :)

[@pzbrawl]

Indodana, "son" in IsiXhosa.

[@walkyjeb9838]

Bae dankie yelle

[@mphorejakong4652]

Why didn't you just use English to introduce the video though.....mxm.

[@miagy5383]

why didn't they just sing in English...? sarcasm* stop asking stupid questions...

[@jaylenadegoke]

Miagy 5 We don't speak bullshit, English is more internationally spoken and understood and is a more civilized language. English or go home

[@dashiekay1730]

Katie, why do we have 11 official languages in South Africa if we are only "supposed" to use English... Leave the guy alone, its what he prefers to speak

[@jacjexpressions3869]

@@jaylenadegoke 😂😂😂😂😂😂✌️.. Qha ke

[@JasonKabelo]

mxm how do you introduce a Zulu song in your Afrikaner... what kind of shit is this

[@petercoffs1985]

I see this, I hear this, I feel this, and think, Yes, South Africa has hope and breath. Then I read the above comment.....

[@shandrevdw930]

Jason Kabelo- we live in ONE country! Although many different races and cultures and African tribes we all live in one country we all thrive for equality on every level and we all love our country we love the animals and we love the different cuisines and many, many other things. Maybe if you joined in on the fun and sing Leeu loop for example- you would be more open minded and respectful to other cultures and races because engaging in these types of things like this video not only connects people as one but also broadens your understanding of that culture and let’s you embrace and love without judgement. I understand that if you are Zulu and you feel offended by this it is in your right, it’s after all your culture but just try to embrace it more if you can. We want love and peace brother. Yes you are my brother as Mother Africa is mother of us all who live here! ♥️ peace ✌🏻 xx

[@thefluffyelephant]

Sounds awesome! But seriously, "back our boys"?? Could you not have come up with a better campaign name? Are there no "girls" in your choir? And yes, those inverted commas are for a reason. Students over the age of 18 are not "boys" or "girls" anymore. So patronising... Ffs

[@mookanator1]

*triggered*

[@MTATAZELA]

Said the "Flyffy Elephant" patronising nogal - eish!
