You show the world that any organization can have a culture of excellence like you do if the more senior members are committed role models for newer members. Once again, you show people in all endeavors what real excellence is. And please keep celebrating your country’s rich cultural heritage.

[@mahlatsemolekwa4561]

Lyrics of the last song. Fiela! Fiela! Fiela ngwanyana! Sweep! Sweep! Sweep young bride! Fiela ngwanyana! Sweep young bride! O se jele matlakaleng Don’t eat/dwell in dirt. Mmatswale ke chobolo Your mother-in-law is very stern Chobolo ya mosadi A stern woman indeed Fiela ngwanyana! Sweep young bride! O se jele matlakaleng Don’t eat/dwell in dirt.

[@me01vand]

Thank you so much for this. Was driving me crazy not knowing. Any chance of the remainder of the lyrics?

[@ericotengjesse7157]

Thanks very much for the translation of the last lyric. I can't get enough of this beautiful song. Although I hardly understand what is being sang I'm in awe of this wonderful performance.

[@mahlatsemolekwa4561]

@@me01vand the beginning of the song is sung in one of the Nguni languages,I do understand what they are saying but I won’t be able to spell the words😅.The last part is sung in Setswana which is my home language.

A choir is a good choir because of the conductor. This man is good he knows what he is doing

[@pugphone2313]

Stellar, as always! This choir never fails to be so absolutely moving as a future music educator. Sending much love!

[@marcusr9135]

This captures the very essence of what choir music should be. Their smiles are infectious and love for what they do evident.

[@streetdogs2459]

The drummer! Wow! And the choir, as always, gives me chills!

[@kwakupoku3719]

The audience applause did it for me and talk about multi-cultural Choir. Every race on earth is represented.

[@preciousnhamo7163]

I witnessed this live performance and it was beyond amazing . My friend and I , we shed a bit of tears - to the beauty of this choir …. I am excited my friend is going to be a part of this choir this year ❤and imma be watching her performmmmmm ……#proudmatie💎

[@user-tb4el1sr1q]

You guys are so easy to love respect and cling to for redemption because I have lost so many loved ones and I have gained more but the one constant friend is Jesus because I am a sinner and have come short of the glory of God and I just found out every one else is the same 😊

[@ayandadlamini9266]

The all embracing University Choir singing brilliantly I've seen in South Africa 🇿🇦 thus far. Thank you for sharing your joys with us

[@maja1157]

A big thank you from Germany! Wonderful!

[@homonaledi640]

Dear Stellenbosch University Choir. How many likes does this post need to have for you to cover Phendula by Zahara? It's a song that lifts many people who are having it rough.

[@armandtjviljoen]

Every song....Unique....Soul, Grace and with meaning. Don't stop creating magic!

[@barbarareichlin5572]

The synchronicity, the energy, the voices… impossible to watch without a ridiculously huge grin on one’s face. Pure joy.

This choir is wonderful, beyond words !!!!!

[@ryansibz2532]

i totally get why the cameraman kept focusing on the short haired beauty😁

[@ericotengjesse7157]

The short-haired beauty is the reason why I have this song on repeat mode. The glint in her eyes is something else

[@wolfgangurban6647]

what a joy of life. Thank you very much for that

[@gregw9351]

Remembering fondly a South African seminary colleague and his family. She was Xhosa and he was Zulu. What their wedding must have looked and sounded like! Met them when Mandela became your President, their younger child was my daughter's age. :)

[@stefanolaspia3484]
